Orland Park's home occupation rules generally prohibit customer, client, or patient visits to home-based businesses. The Village requires that home occupations not generate traffic beyond normal residential levels. Retail sales from the premises are prohibited.
Orland Park restricts customer traffic to home-based businesses to preserve residential neighborhood character. The Land Development Code requires that home occupations not generate vehicular or pedestrian traffic beyond what is typical for a residential area. Customer, client, and patient visits are generally not permitted. Retail sales of goods from the premises are prohibited. Deliveries must be limited to typical residential volumes; routine USPS, UPS, and FedEx deliveries are acceptable but frequent commercial shipments suggesting a retail operation are not. Customer pickup of merchandise is not permitted. Professional services operating by phone, internet, or at client locations are best suited for compliance. Limited one-on-one tutoring or music lessons with a single student at a time have sometimes been tolerated in practice, but recurring multiple-client visits trigger enforcement. Neighbor complaints about parking on quiet residential streets in subdivisions like Crystal Tree, Brookside Glen, and Wheeler Estates are common triggers for code enforcement action.
Generating excess traffic from a home business may result in a notice of violation from Orland Park Code Enforcement at (708) 403-6150. Fines typically begin at $75 per day. Continued violations may result in an order to cease the business activity.
