Summary

Warner Robins limits when a home-based business can see customers or accept deliveries: Section 95.2.7 of the zoning ordinance bars home occupations from being open to the public or receiving deliveries before 6 a.m. or after 8 p.m., except for routine carriers like USPS, UPS, and FedEx. The business also can't generate excessive traffic.

95.2.7. The home occupation shall not be open to the public or receive deliveries earlier than 6:00 a.m. or later than 8:00 p.m. Routine residential-type carriers, such as the USPS, UPS and/or FedEx, excepted. 95.2.8. A home occupation shall not generate excessive traffic or produce obnoxious odors, fumes, smoke, dust, heat, glare, noise, vibration, electrical disturbance, or radioactivity or other conditions that will be a nuisance to the surrounding area.

Full Breakdown

m. Routine residential-type carriers such as USPS, UPS, and FedEx are specifically excepted from that window, so a normal package drop-off doesn't violate the hours limit even outside them. 8 backs that up with a traffic and nuisance standard: a home occupation cannot generate excessive traffic, or produce odors, fumes, smoke, dust, heat, glare, noise, vibration, electrical disturbance, radioactivity, or other conditions that become a nuisance to the surrounding area. Parking tied to customer or client visits is tightly controlled too. 3 confines all home-occupation parking to the driveway where the business operates, bars parking in the street or yard, and prohibits shared parking arrangements.

1 goes further and says a home occupation cannot require any on- or off-street parking beyond what a normal residence would need, meaning the business can't be sized in a way that draws parking demand a house wouldn't otherwise generate. 2 also bars off-site employees from congregating at the property or parking there in connection with the business. 10 separately prohibits group instruction, assembly, or activity, which rules out classes or gatherings that would otherwise bring repeated customer traffic to the residence.

Violations & Fines

Receiving customers or deliveries outside the 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. window, or generating traffic beyond what Section 95.2.8 allows, is a violation of the home occupation standards enforceable under Section 116: the maximum punishment allowed by the City Charter, with each day of the violation a separate offense, in addition to the city's general fine of up to $1,000 or up to 12 months under City Code § 4, and the zoning enforcement officer can revoke the occupational permit under Section 95.7.1.3.

Frequently Asked Questions

What hours can customers visit a home business in Warner Robins?
Between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. only. Section 95.2.7 bars a home occupation from being open to the public, or accepting deliveries, outside that window, though routine carriers like USPS, UPS, and FedEx are exempt from the hours limit.
Can customers park on the street for a home business visit?
No. Section 95.3 requires all home-occupation parking, including customer visits, to happen in the driveway of the property, and specifically bars parking in the street or yard. Shared parking arrangements with neighbors or other properties aren't allowed either.
Can I hold a class or workshop as part of my home business?
No. Section 95.2.10 prohibits group instruction, assembly, or activity as part of a home occupation, which rules out classes, workshops, or similar gatherings that would bring multiple customers to the residence at once, regardless of how the rest of the business otherwise complies with Section 95's standards.
