Full Breakdown
Edmond issues no separate home occupation license, § 22.4.37(E)(2) lets a home business operate by right as long as it meets every listed standard: conducted entirely inside the dwelling with no outside storage, clearly incidental to the residential use, and staffed only by residents of the property, except in the G-A district, where up to 10 nonresident employees are allowed. One non-illuminated identification sign up to two square feet is the only signage permitted. Fail any standard and the use loses its accessory-use protection.
