Full Breakdown

" That curfew sits alongside the section's parking requirement in paragraph (4), which requires adequate off-street parking for business vehicles and any visiting clientele, so a home business drawing customers to the property must show it can park them off the public road rather than along the shoulder. m. 126(F) can operate without additional county sign-off, but exceeding the hours or overwhelming available off-street parking converts it into a zoning violation.

Violations & Fines

Hosting clients outside the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. window, or failing to provide adequate off-street parking for visiting clientele as required by Section 156.126(F), is a zoning infraction under the county's general penalty and enforcement provisions administered by the Zoning Administrator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hours can clients visit a home business in Bonneville County?

Section 156.126(F)(6) limits business activity involving visiting clientele to between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Outside those hours, the home occupation may not host client-facing business.

Do I need to provide parking for clients?

Yes, Section 156.126(F)(4) requires adequate off-street parking for both the business's own vehicle and for any visiting clientele, so street parking for customers is not sufficient on its own.

Can a home business still be cited if it stays within the 7 to 7 hours?

Yes. Section 156.126(F)(5) separately bars any home occupation from generating noise, glare, or interference beyond what an ordinary residence produces, so excessive client traffic or noise can still be a violation even inside the permitted hours.
