Broken Arrow Zoning Ordinance regulates home occupations in residential districts. Home businesses must be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the property. Certain businesses like auto repair and ongoing sales are prohibited in residential areas. Some home occupations may require a Specific Use Permit from City Council depending on the type and intensity of the activity.
Broken Arrow zoning permits home occupations in residential zones. A business license and/or home occupation permit is typically required. The business must be secondary to residential use. Common conditions: no external signage, no on-site employees, limited customer visits, no hazardous materials. Oklahoma Home Bakery Act (2013, amended 2018) allows sale of certain home-baked goods without a food license. HOAs may impose additional restrictions.
Operating without permit: cease-and-desist order. Fines $50 to $500 per day. Business license penalties apply.
