Home occupations in unincorporated Marin County must not generate traffic, parking demand or deliveries beyond what is normal for a residence; significant customer visits can disqualify the use.
Marin County allows home occupations in the unincorporated areas on a strict low-profile basis: the business can't generate traffic, parking demand or deliveries beyond what an ordinary residence produces. Regular customer visits are the classic way to cross the line, and significant traffic can disqualify the home occupation entirely — the county can revoke the status and end the use. Employee parking and frequent commercial deliveries count against you the same way. If clients need to visit, check with county planning about the limits before building your business around the house.
