If a home occupation is run inside the residence, no certificate of occupancy is required by Snohomish County PDS. If it is run in a garage or accessory building, a certificate of occupancy is required and is subject to annual inspection and renewal.
Under Snohomish County's home occupation rules, a home occupation conducted within the residence itself does not require a certificate of occupancy from Planning & Development Services. A home occupation in a garage or accessory building does require a certificate of occupancy to confirm building and fire code compliance, and it is subject to annual inspection and renewal under SCC 30.53A.361. Operators should also verify the use is allowed in their zone (SCC 30.22.100–30.22.120) and obtain any required Washington state business license.
Running a home occupation in an accessory building without the required certificate of occupancy, or failing annual renewal, can result in code enforcement and revocation of approval.
