Mecklenburg County home occupation rules limit customer visits to protect residential character. Charlotte UDO generally allows a limited number of daily client visits by appointment only. Group classes and retail sales on site are prohibited.
Under Charlotte UDO and the county zoning ordinance, home occupations may receive clients by appointment only, typically capped at one client at a time and limited total daily visits (commonly 4-8 per day depending on zoning district). No retail sales of goods produced off-premises. Deliveries must be limited to standard carrier services (USPS, UPS, FedEx) in passenger or small delivery vehicles. Employees who are not residents of the home are generally prohibited, though the UDO allows limited non-resident employees in some districts with a conditional use permit.
Excessive traffic complaints trigger zoning inspections; continued violations lead to cease-and-desist orders and civil penalties of $100-$500 per day.
