Fayetteville permits home occupations in residential zones as an accessory use under the Unified Development Ordinance. The business must be secondary to the residential use with no exterior evidence.
Fayetteville's Unified Development Ordinance permits home occupations as an accessory use in residential districts. The business must be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use. Requirements typically include: the operator must reside in the dwelling, limited floor area for business use, no exterior evidence of the business, no outdoor storage, and limited non-resident employees. The business must not generate excessive traffic, noise, or disturbance. The military community from Fort Liberty creates demand for home-based businesses among military spouses and families. Certain occupations like professional offices, tutoring, consulting, and remote work are commonly permitted. Businesses with significant customer traffic may require a different zoning classification.
UDO zoning violation: fines. Operations may be ordered to cease if non-compliant.
