Unincorporated Gwinnett County permits customary home occupations under UDO § 230-130.3.Q, but only by family members residing in the home, with no exterior business evidence or signage, no group assembly, no on-site sales, and no increase in traffic or parking, plus a required Occupation Tax Certificate.
Customary home occupations in unincorporated Gwinnett County are governed by UDO § 230-130.3.Q (Title 2, Chapter 230). Standards: only resident family members may conduct the business; no exterior evidence, signage, or business activity (must occur inside the enclosed living area, basement included); no exterior display or storage of products, materials, or machinery; no group instruction or assembly of customers, students, or clients; no on-site sales without a Special Use Permit; and no increase in traffic or parking. Operators must obtain an Occupation Tax Certificate from Gwinnett Licensing & Revenue plus a Certificate of Occupancy. The county does not issue a stand-alone home occupation permit; the Occupation Tax Certificate functions as approval when UDO standards are met.
Operating without an Occupation Tax Certificate, hosting group assemblies, posting exterior signage, on-site retail sales, or generating extra customer traffic violates UDO § 230-130.3.Q and is enforced by Gwinnett Code Enforcement (770-513-5004); penalties include cease-and-desist orders and Recorder's Court fines.
