Home daycares in Pasadena must be licensed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). A Home Occupation Permit from the city is also required when operating a business from a residential property. Zoning guidelines limit traffic, noise, and storage.
Home daycare operations in Pasadena require both state licensing through HHSC and a city Home Occupation Permit. Listed Family Homes serve 1-3 unrelated children with basic HHSC registration. Registered Child-Care Homes serve 4-6 children. Licensed Child-Care Homes serve 7-12 children with comprehensive standards. The city's Home Occupation Permit requires compliance with zoning guidelines to avoid excessive pedestrian and automobile traffic, noise, and indoor/outdoor storage that would disrupt the residential character of the neighborhood.
