There is no county home-occupation permit in Macomb County. Approval, zoning-compliance certificates, and any permits come from your individual city or township. Conditions cover employees, floor area, traffic, hours, and a ban on outside evidence of the business.
Whether you need a permit or zoning-compliance certificate to run a home business is decided by your city or township, not by Macomb County, which has no zoning authority and issues no home-occupation permit. Under Macomb Township Zoning Ordinance Sec. 10.0320, a home occupation is permitted in a single-family dwelling only if resident family members alone work in it; it uses no more than 200 square feet within the dwelling; there is no change in outside appearance; it is not in an accessory structure; no outside goods are sold; there is no advertising; and hours run only 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Contact your township or city planning office for the application and fee.
Running a home occupation without required local approval, or breaching its conditions, is a zoning violation enforced by the city or township. Enforcement typically proceeds by notice of violation and a municipal civil infraction, with fines and orders to cease.
