Anderson allows a home occupation that is incidental to residential use, conducted only by resident family members, and limited to 25% or 400 square feet of the dwelling's ground floor (whichever is less), or up to 400 square feet in an accessory structure.
Under the City of Anderson Zoning Ordinance, a home occupation must be carried on inside the principal structure and may occupy no more than 25% or 400 square feet of the ground floor, whichever is less. If conducted in an accessory structure, no more than 400 square feet may be used. It may be conducted only by members of the resident family occupying the premises. No exterior display, offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odor, heat, or litter is allowed, and clinics, restaurants, animal hospitals/kennels, and motor-vehicle repair are expressly not home occupations.
Operating a business that violates the home-occupation standards is a zoning violation enforced by the Department of Municipal Development / Board of Zoning Appeals.
