A home occupation permit from the Pinal County planning director is required to run a business in a home in unincorporated areas. It applies only to a full-time resident, does not attach to the land, and requires a new permit if the use changes.
Section 2.150.260(A) requires a home occupation permit obtained from the planning director. The permit applies only to a full-time resident of the dwelling, is issued to the applicant (it does not attach to the land, so it is not transferable to a buyer), and a new permit is required if there is a change in use. Operating conditions include a one-nonresident-employee cap, on-site parking only, no outdoor storage, no overnight accommodations, and serving no more than five clients per day and no more than two at any one time.
Running a home business without the required permit or beyond its conditions is a zoning violation enforced by the Planning Division.
