Coon Rapids does not require a zoning permit for a home occupation, but you must comply with all zoning standards. Only one non-resident employee is allowed; all other workers must live in the home. Some business types still need separate state or local licenses.
Coon Rapids City Code Section 11-1210 states that a zoning permit is not required for a home occupation, but the business must comply with the city's zoning standards. Only one employee who does not live at the residence is allowed, and all other employees must be occupants of the home; no more than one non-resident may be transported from the home to a job site. Certain business types still need federal, state, or local licenses, obtainable through the City Clerk (763-767-6493) or mn.gov/elicense. Deliveries must use vehicle types customary for residential neighborhoods, and traffic and parking must not cause congestion. Rules vary by city, so Blaine and Andover residents should check their own codes.
Exceeding the one-non-resident-employee limit, generating customer traffic congestion, or operating a prohibited use is a zoning violation enforced by the Coon Rapids Planning Division through correction notices and citations.
