Ventura County Zoning Ordinance §8107-1.2 regulates home occupations in residential zones. Businesses must not be evident beyond the property boundaries, are limited to household members, and allow a maximum of 6 clients per day by appointment only during 9 AM–5 PM Monday through Friday.
Section 8107-1.2 establishes detailed standards for home occupations. No merchandise may be displayed for advertising. No signs naming the home occupation are permitted on or off premises, and advertising must not disclose the dwelling's location. Only household members may work in the home occupation — no outside employees. Client hours are restricted to 9 AM–5 PM Monday through Friday with a maximum of 6 clients per day, no overlap, all by appointment. One commercial vehicle (≤10,000 lbs GVW) is permitted. Business deliveries are limited to 2 per week (USPS/commercial carriers exempt). The home occupation must not be evident beyond property boundaries, and no internal or external alterations not customary to a dwelling are allowed.
Operating a home occupation that violates §8107-1.2 standards is a zoning violation. Excessive client traffic, signage, or visible business activity triggers Code Compliance enforcement. Violations result in notices to correct and may lead to revocation of the right to operate. Infraction fines per §13-2: $100 first, $200 second, $500 each additional within one year.
