Brazoria County issues no home-occupation permit because it cannot zone. Inside Pearland, a home occupation must meet UDC conditions, including that only occupants plus one full-time (or two part-time) employee may work on the premises.
Unincorporated Brazoria County has no zoning, so no county home-occupation permit exists; a business simply needs applicable state and federal licenses and a Texas sales-tax permit. Inside cities, home occupations are conditioned by the zoning code. Pearland's Unified Development Code limits on-site staff to the dwelling's occupants and one additional full-time employee (or two part-time), bars changes to the residential character, and restricts customer traffic, outside storage, and signage. Some cities require a home-occupation permit or registration and a certificate of occupancy; confirm with the specific city. Landlord, HOA, or deed approvals may also be required.
Inside cities, running a home occupation that exceeds employee, traffic, or use limits violates the zoning code and draws citations, fines, and possible revocation or cease-use orders.
