Fla. Stat. §559.955 lets Sunrise home businesses receive clients, but traffic, parking, and deliveries must stay consistent with a residential neighborhood. A walk-in retail store is not a protected home occupation.
Under Florida's Home-Based Business Act, the City of Sunrise cannot ban client visits to a home occupation, but the statute requires the business stay secondary to residential use. Vehicle traffic and parking must match other homes in the area, and Land Development Code §16-81 plus on-street parking rules still apply. Up to two nonresident employees are allowed. Businesses generating steady customer flow, deliveries by large commercial trucks, or on-site retail sales fall outside the protection. Condo and HOA covenants in communities like Sunrise Lakes and Sawgrass may bar client visits altogether.
Client traffic or parking that exceeds neighborhood norms lets Sunrise Code Compliance find the use no longer incidental, issue a notice, and impose daily fines. HOA and condo rules carry separate penalties.
