Home-occupation permits are issued by your city, village or township, not by Montgomery County. Townships may require a zoning certificate before a use begins under Ohio Revised Code 519.16.
The county does not issue home-occupation permits. In unincorporated areas, ORC 519.16 lets a township board set up a system of zoning certificates and appoint a zoning inspector; where adopted, you must obtain a zoning certificate confirming your home occupation is a permitted use before starting. Cities and villages run their own home-occupation permit or registration processes under ORC Chapter 713. Requirements typically address employee limits, customer traffic, parking, signage, and keeping the business subordinate to the residence. Because these systems are permissive and local, check with your specific city or township zoning office to learn whether a certificate or permit is required for you.
Operating without a required zoning certificate or home-occupation permit can lead to a cease-use order and municipal-court fines that continue daily until the use is permitted or stopped.
