Full Breakdown
Under St. George City Code § 3-7-6, a Class B home occupation license lets a home business bring people to the property for business purposes, but no more than 10 people may be on-site at any one time and only between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. A Class A home occupation is stricter: only the residence's legal permanent occupants may work there, and non-occupants "shall not come to the residential property for any business purpose" at all, no client visits are allowed under a Class A license. Daycares, preschools and classes covered by the license may hold outdoor activities within the same 7 AM to 8 PM window.
Violations & Fines
Operating a home occupation outside these conditions is a Class B misdemeanor under City Code § 3-1-21; the business license officer can also revoke the home occupation license for violations not cured within 3 days of written notice.
