Las Cruces, NM Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

Section 38-52 regulates the traffic a home business generates. There is no direct sale of products off display shelves; retail sales happen only on orders placed by phone, mail, computer, or at a sales party, and service must be by appointment so only one customer vehicle is at the dwelling at a time. Under the parking rules, no more than two customer vehicles per hour may frequent a home occupation, except for instructional service, babysitting, and child care. Deliveries are capped at two per week from a two-axle vehicle and one per month from a three-axle vehicle; four-or-more-axle trucks are prohibited, and business vehicles over one ton may not park at the residence or on the street.
