Live Oak permits registered home daycares in residential zones as home occupations. State licensing through Texas HHSC is required before operating, and city zoning limits child counts and signage.
Live Oak treats home-based child care as a home occupation under the Live Oak Code of Ordinances, Chapter 14 (Zoning). Operators must first obtain state licensure or registration from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) Child Care Regulation. Registered Child-Care Homes are limited to 6 children with a maximum of 12 including school-age kids; Licensed Child-Care Homes allow up to 12. The home occupation must remain secondary to the residential use, not generate significant traffic, and cannot use exterior advertising beyond a small permitted sign. Fire safety inspections may be required based on enrollment. Drop-off and pickup must not disrupt neighbors or block streets.
