Tracy home occupation rules under TMC Article 36 prohibit customer visits and restrict traffic to normal residential levels. Businesses with clients coming to the home — including salons, repair shops, or instruction studios — are generally prohibited.
TMC Chapter 10.08, Article 36 prohibits home occupations from generating customer or client traffic beyond that normal in a residential area. No employee other than the residents of the dwelling may work at the home occupation site. Business categories that inherently attract clients (beauty parlors, barbershops, pet grooming, music/dance studios, medical practices) are explicitly prohibited. Online and phone-based businesses with only occasional UPS/FedEx deliveries are typically acceptable. Direct-sales party businesses (Tupperware, Pampered Chef) with occasional home meetings may require special review.
Home occupation generating commercial traffic: code enforcement notice and required cessation. Permit revocation for repeat violations.
