The City of Lubbock allows a customary home occupation in residential zones without a separate permit if it stays incidental to the home, uses no more than 25% of floor area, has no non-resident employees, and shows no external evidence. The county issues no home-business permit.
Under the City of Lubbock's zoning rules, a customary home occupation is allowed as an accessory use only when it remains clearly incidental and subordinate to residential use: it must be conducted inside the dwelling, use no more than 25 percent of the total floor area, employ no one outside the resident family, generate no significant customer traffic, and produce no external evidence. No separate home-occupation permit is required, though a state sales-tax permit and any professional license still apply. Unincorporated Lubbock County has no zoning and issues no home-occupation permit.
Exceeding the City of Lubbock home-occupation limits (employees, floor area, traffic, signage) is a zoning violation; enforcement can require the business to cease. The county has no permit to enforce.
