Victorville requires a home occupation permit plus business license for any business run from a residence. Use must stay incidental, with no customer traffic, signage, or exterior commercial activity.
The Victorville Development Code regulates home-based businesses through a home occupation permit administered by the Planning Division. The business must be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the property and must be conducted entirely within the dwelling or an accessory structure by residents of the household. Typical standards include no non-resident employees working on-site, no outdoor storage or display of merchandise, no signage visible from the public right-of-way, no customer or client visits that generate additional vehicle trips beyond normal residential traffic, and no equipment or processes that create noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odors, heat, glare, or electrical interference perceptible beyond the property line. Businesses involving hazardous materials, auto repair, manufacturing, or walk-in retail sales are generally prohibited. A City of Victorville business license from Finance is required on top of the home occupation permit. Apply through Victorville Planning at City Hall, (760) 955-5000.
