Converse zoning permits home occupations in residential districts when the activity is clearly secondary to residential use, conducted indoors, and does not generate traffic or noise impacts on neighbors.
Converse home occupation rules allow a resident to operate a business from their home provided: (1) the business is clearly subordinate and incidental to residential use, (2) no more than a small percentage of the dwelling is used for the business (often capped around 25 percent), (3) the activity occurs entirely inside the dwelling or in an accessory structure, (4) no nonresident employees work on site (some districts allow one), (5) no retail sales of products to walk-in customers unless the product is made on site, (6) no outdoor storage of inventory, materials, or commercial vehicles visible from the street, and (7) no signage other than a small unlit nameplate. A Home Occupation Permit may be required. Prohibited occupations typically include auto repair, welding, kennels, and restaurants. Check your specific zoning district and HOA.
