Orange County home occupations must not generate customer traffic exceeding residential norms. FL §559.955 preempts arbitrary bans but allows reasonable limits on parking and scheduled visits.
Orange County Code §38-1254 limits customer visits to home-based businesses to ensure traffic does not change the character of a residential neighborhood. FL §559.955 (2021) preempts blanket bans on client visits but permits local rules limiting parked vehicles to those that reasonably fit on-site parking and do not overflow onto neighboring streets. Orange County generally interprets this as allowing professional service visits (tutoring, therapy, consulting) that appear as normal household activity and prohibiting retail walk-in traffic. Deliveries are limited to normal residential frequency (USPS, UPS, FedEx) - commercial freight shipments are a red flag for enforcement. Music lessons, personal training, and similar one-on-one businesses are generally acceptable with scheduled appointments.
Excessive parked vehicles: warning then code enforcement up to $500/day. Commercial freight traffic: cease-and-desist. Nuisance parking complaints from neighbors: compliance review.
