Madera Home Occupation Permits typically prohibit or strictly limit walk-up customer traffic to the residence to preserve the residential character of the neighborhood. Frequent customer arrivals, deliveries, or parking demand are grounds for HOP revocation.
Standard conditions on a Madera Home Occupation Permit include: business is incidental to the residence; no commercial appearance; no employees on premises other than household members; no walk-up customer traffic that changes the residential character; no commercial vehicles or stockpiled supplies; no signage beyond a small exempt nameplate. Businesses with regular client visits (e.g., tutoring, hair styling) may be allowed only with limited appointments and adequate off-street parking. Frequent UPS/FedEx deliveries that change neighborhood character can also trigger HOP revocation.
Code Enforcement may revoke the HOP and require business cessation. Title I administrative citations $100 / $200 / $500. Continued operation post-revocation can be misdemeanor.
