West Jordan requires a home occupation business license for any business operated from a residence, with standards limiting signage, traffic, employees, and outdoor activity.
Per West Jordan Municipal Code Title 13 and the city business licensing chapter, residents operating a business from home must apply for a home occupation license through the city Business License Division. Standards typically limit nonresident employees, prohibit retail sales on site, restrict outdoor storage, and require the use to remain subordinate to residential character. Signage is generally prohibited or limited to a small nameplate. Deliveries by semi-trucks and customer traffic that disrupts neighborhood character are not allowed.
