Sandy requires a home occupation permit and business license for any business operated from a residence, with standards limiting employees, customer visits, signage, and outdoor storage.
Sandy Land Development Code Chapter 15-13 governs home occupations. The business must be clearly incidental to the residential use, conducted entirely within the dwelling or an accessory building, and operated by a resident. No more than one non-resident employee is typically permitted. No exterior display, signage beyond that allowed by code, or outdoor storage of materials is allowed. Customer visits must be limited and not generate parking demand beyond normal residential levels. Certain uses (auto repair, kennels, restaurants) are prohibited as home occupations.
