Sparks caps home occupations at five client visits or service deliveries per day, allowed only between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. No business employees may report for duty at or near the residence.
Sparks Municipal Code Section 20.03.020 limits the customer impact of home occupations. No more than five client visits or service deliveries are allowed per day, and only between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. No business employees may report for duty at or near the residence. The activity must not change the residential character of the neighborhood or create traffic, noise, or parking beyond normal residential levels, and only one commercial vehicle under 10,000 pounds may be kept on-site. Walk-in retail is incompatible with these limits, so most permitted Sparks home occupations are service-based or online.
Exceeding the five-visit daily limit or operating outside permitted hours violates the permit. Two or more code-violation notices at the property within twelve months let the Administrator revoke the home occupation permit.
