A home occupation in unincorporated Osceola County must meet strict LDC conditions: no employees beyond residents, no more than 25% of the floor area, no more than 25 square feet of merchandise stored, no signs, and no customers visiting the address.
Osceola County LDC 3.6.1.E permits home occupations only if they stay incidental and subordinate to residential use. Standards include: no one other than the dwelling's occupants may work there; not more than 25 percent of the air-conditioned floor area may be used; no more than 25 square feet of merchandise may be stored (except qualifying Agricultural Development and Conservation parcels); no sign is allowed; and customers may not physically come to the address. A County Business Tax Receipt is generally required to operate. Cities issue their own approvals within their limits.
Running a home occupation that exceeds these limits, or without a required Business Tax Receipt, is enforced by Osceola County Code Enforcement with notices, escalating daily fines, and property liens.
