Home occupations in Provo's residential zones must not generate customer traffic that disturbs the neighborhood's residential character. No non-resident employees are typically permitted. High-traffic businesses require commercial zoning.
Provo's residential zoning framework limits home occupations to activities that do not alter the residential character of the neighborhood. Standard home occupation rules prohibit or restrict: regular visits by clients/customers, on-site retail sales, non-resident employees working on premises, and exterior evidence of business activities (e.g., signs, equipment storage, deliveries). Businesses that generate traffic, noise, or parking demand beyond what a residence normally produces must operate in a commercial zone. Contact the Zoning Division at (801) 852-6400 to determine if a conditional use permit is available for a higher-activity home business.
Excessive traffic complaints: permit review. Revocation for repeat violations. Cease-and-desist order.
