Salem limits customer traffic to home businesses. Only minimal client visits are permitted, and no retail sales to on-premises customers are allowed.
Home occupations in Salem must not generate customer traffic that changes the residential character of the neighborhood. Only incidental client visits are permitted. Retail sales to walk-in customers are prohibited. Deliveries must be limited to those typical of residential use. The business should primarily operate without customers coming to the home. The city evaluates traffic impact based on complaints and observations.
Excessive customer traffic results in code enforcement action and potential orders to cease home occupation activities.
