Indian River County, FL Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

Under Fla. Stat. §559.955, employees who work at the home must also live there, except that up to two workers or independent contractors from outside may work at the business. The Act protects client visits so long as the business stays secondary to residential use and the property, seen from the street, still resembles its neighbors. Indian River County may not single out a home business, but its generally applicable rules on on-street parking, traffic, and noise still apply. Clients parking on the lot rather than crowding the street, and visits that do not disrupt the neighborhood, keep the business inside the Act's protection.
