Boynton Beach requires a home occupation Business Tax Receipt before operating a business from a residence. Rules limit customer visits, signage, employees, and external impacts to preserve residential character.
Boynton Beach LDR Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3.D governs home occupations. The business must be clearly incidental to residential use, occupy no more than 20% of the dwelling, and employ only residents of the home (no non-resident employees on site). No external evidence of the business is permitted including signs, displays, outside storage, or parking of commercial vehicles. Customer traffic must not exceed one client at a time with a limit on daily visits. Applicants apply through the Boynton Beach Business Tax Division and receive annual renewal notices.
Operating without a home occupation BTR: $125 fine first offense, escalating with repeat violations. Code enforcement may order cessation of the business.
