Home-based businesses in Pompano Beach are regulated through the Zoning Code Chapter 155. A Zoning Use Certificate (ZUC) is required as the first step for obtaining a Business Tax Receipt. Home occupations must be clearly incidental to the residential use of the property. Customer traffic, delivery vehicles, and employee visits must not exceed levels inconsistent with the residential character of the neighborhood. Parking for business visitors must not impact neighboring properties. No outdoor storage of business materials is permitted. The business must not generate noise, odors, or other impacts beyond what is normal for a residence. Contact Planning and Zoning at 954.786.4679 for specific home occupation requirements.
