Home businesses in Nassau County must not generate customer traffic beyond what is typical for a residential neighborhood. Most town zoning codes limit or prohibit on-site client visits, require clients to come by appointment only, and cap the number of visits per day (typically 3-6 clients).
Nassau towns define home occupation as an activity clearly incidental to residential use, meaning client/customer traffic patterns must not create commercial character. Typical limits: no walk-in retail; clients by appointment only; maximum 1-2 clients on premises at a time; maximum 3-6 client visits per day; no deliveries beyond normal residential package volume; parking must accommodate clients on the driveway (not in the street). Uses generating more traffic (therapy practices, tutoring centers, photography studios) may require special use permits. Neighbor complaints about client vehicles are a leading enforcement trigger.
Excess traffic violations: cease-and-desist orders, fines of $500-$5,000, revocation of home occupation permit, and potential zoning enforcement against the entire use.
