Home occupation rules in Union County municipalities typically limit customer traffic to maintain residential character. Off-street parking requirements must be met. Specific limits vary by municipality.
Union County home occupation permits typically limit or prohibit customer/client visits. NJ’s dense suburban communities are particularly strict about maintaining residential character.
