Livonia home occupations must not generate meaningful customer traffic. No retail sales or routine client visits are allowed in residential zones.
To qualify as a permitted home occupation in Livonia, a business must not generate pedestrian or vehicle traffic greater than the normal traffic for a residence. On-site retail sales are prohibited and there can be no regular stream of clients arriving at the home. Limited professional consultations or lessons with one or two individuals at a time may be allowed where specifically authorized in the zoning ordinance (for example, music instruction), but parking must be accommodated on the driveway and not overflow to the street in a way that disrupts the neighborhood. Deliveries must be limited to standard residential parcel services (USPS, UPS, FedEx, Amazon); box trucks, freight deliveries, and customer pickup windows are not permitted. Complaints from neighbors about traffic, parking, or noise are primary triggers for enforcement. Contact Planning at (734) 466-2200 to check a specific business model.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
