Murfreesboro home occupations need a special use permit. If the applicant only needs an address for a business license and meets the standards, the Planning Director may issue it; otherwise the Board of Zoning Appeals decides.
A Murfreesboro home occupation is permitted by special use permit. When the request is simply to establish an address for a business license and the applicant meets all standards, the Planning Director may issue the permit directly; if the Director doubts compatibility with adjoining uses, approval is denied and the applicant may appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals. Standards require resident-only employees, no more than 25% of the dwelling used, no outward alteration, and no products visible from the street. Apply through the Planning Department at 111 W. Vine St.
Running a home occupation without the special use permit, or breaching its conditions, is a zoning violation subject to enforcement and possible revocation.
