Frisco allows registered and licensed child-care homes in single-family zones as home occupations, subject to Texas HHSC licensing. Registered homes: up to 6 kids plus 6 school-age part-time. Licensed homes: up to 12 kids. No external modifications that alter residential appearance.
Frisco Zoning Ordinance permits family home child care as an allowed home occupation when operator resides in the dwelling. Texas Human Resources Code Chapter 42 and 26 TAC Chapter 745 govern state licensing through HHSC Child Care Regulation. Operators must obtain CCR permit, background checks for all adults in home, CPR/first-aid certification, and annual inspections. Frisco requires pickup/drop-off staggered to avoid traffic congestion; off-street parking for one caregiver vehicle required. Group day-care homes (7-12 children) are not permitted as a home occupation in Frisco and require commercial zoning.
Operating unregistered home daycare: HHSC cease-and-desist plus Frisco zoning citation up to $500/day. Exceeding child capacity or converting to commercial use without rezoning: code compliance citation.
