Yuba County, CA Home Business: Zoning & Home Occupation Permits (2026)

Unincorporated Yuba County's Land Use Regulation Table (Table 11.74) shows home occupations are a widely allowed use, permitted by right across every agricultural district (AE, AR, AI), the natural-resource and rural-community districts, and all residential districts (RE, RS, RM, RH), each subject to the standards in Section 11.32.140. They're also permitted, subject to additional notes, in the General Commercial, Commercial Mixed-Use, Neighborhood Mixed-Use, and Downtown Core districts. The table marks home occupations as not permitted in the Employment Center, Industrial (IG/IL), Public Facilities, and Special Event districts, so a business type otherwise allowed as a home occupation still can't operate from a residence sited in one of those excluded zones.
