Whether you can run a business from home is set by your city, village or township, not by Montgomery County. Townships zone unincorporated land under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 519; cities zone under ORC Chapter 713.
Montgomery County is heavily incorporated, so home-business rules come from your local jurisdiction. Under ORC 519.02, a township board of trustees may regulate by resolution the uses of buildings and land in unincorporated territory — this is the authority behind township home-occupation rules. Cities and villages (Dayton, Kettering, Centerville, Huber Heights, and others) zone under their own charters and ORC 713. Typical home-occupation zoning limits the business to a small share of the dwelling, bars outside employees, and prohibits changing the residential character of the property. Always check your specific city or township zoning resolution before operating.
Running a non-permitted home business can bring a zoning-violation notice, orders to cease the use, and municipal-court fines that accrue daily until corrected.
