Bergen County's density and strong residential zoning tradition mean home occupations face some of the strictest customer-traffic rules in the state. Under each municipality's zoning code authorized by N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq., Bergen towns fall into roughly three tiers: (1) Dense boroughs (Fort Lee, Palisades Park, Cliffside Park, Hackensack, Teaneck, Bergenfield) typically prohibit any customer visits at home businesses; (2) Suburban boroughs (Paramus, Ridgewood, Fair Lawn, Glen Rock) typically allow 1-2 clients at a time, 6-8 per day maximum; (3) Larger-lot towns (Mahwah, Upper Saddle River, Alpine, Franklin Lakes) allow slightly more. Retail walk-in is universally prohibited. No commercial deliveries by large trucks. Multiple traffic complaints trigger zoning board review and possible revocation of the home occupation permit.
Excessive traffic complaint: zoning board review. Violation: $100-$2,000/day (up to $10,000 in Hackensack under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-68 cumulative). Permit revocation for repeat offenders. Cease-and-desist order.
