Customer visits to home businesses in Allegheny County are tightly regulated. Pittsburgh limits client visits to one at a time and no more than one per hour; most suburbs follow similar caps or prohibit customers entirely in home occupations.
Pittsburgh Zoning Code home-occupation rules cap customers/clients at one per hour during daytime hours and prohibit overnight visits. Many suburban Allegheny County municipalities ban customer visits entirely for home occupations, restricting them to administrative or online businesses. Deliveries are limited to parcel services only; commercial freight deliveries are prohibited. Parking for clients must be on the lot, not on the street. Traffic generation complaints are a common enforcement trigger and can lead to zoning certificate revocation.
Zoning citations $100-$500 per incident. Repeat traffic violations can revoke home occupation approval and require cessation of business.
