Toms River's home occupation rules prohibit regular visits by customers, patients, or patrons to the home business site. The business must remain incidental and subordinate to the residential use of the dwelling.
Under Chapter 348, home professional offices and home occupations must not generate regular customer, patient, or patron visits to the site. This is a fundamental condition for permitting home occupations in residential zones. The intent is to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood. Businesses that require regular client visits, such as retail operations, salons, or medical offices, would generally not qualify as permitted home occupations. Deliveries associated with the home business must also not create traffic, parking, or noise impacts inconsistent with the residential character.
Operating a home business with regular customer traffic in violation of zoning conditions may result in revocation of the home occupation permission and code enforcement action.
