A Jefferson County home occupation requires a Miscellaneous Permit from Planning & Zoning. It is limited to one non-resident employee, no more than 25 percent or 800 square feet of the main residence, and no more than 2 additional customer vehicles at a time.
Zoning Resolution Section 21.C sets the conditions. §21.C.1: "A miscellaneous Permit must be obtained from Planning and Zoning." §21.C.3: the occupation "is limited to the use of 1 additional employee beyond those living on the subject property." §21.C.5: "The total area used for such home occupations shall not exceed 25 percent or no more than 800 square feet of floor area per lot... and shall be limited to the main residential structure," except licensed day-care homes may use outdoor play areas. §21.C.10 caps added traffic/parking at "no more than 2 additional vehicles at a time." Excluded uses (auto repair, kennels, restaurants, tattoo parlors, non-ancillary retail) are prohibited; salons, massage, mail-order, and large day-care homes need an Administrative Exception. Telecommuting with
Operating without the Miscellaneous Permit, exceeding the employee/area/traffic limits, or running an excluded use is a zoning violation; non-conforming uses may need Board of Adjustment approval.
