Huntersville allows home occupations as accessory uses in residential districts subject to standards ensuring the business remains subordinate to residential use.
The Huntersville Zoning Ordinance defines home occupations as customary accessory uses conducted within a dwelling by the resident. Typical standards require: the business is clearly incidental to residential use, no more than a specified percent of floor area is devoted to business, no outside employees beyond family residing there, no retail sales of products not produced on premises, no outdoor storage of materials or equipment, and no activity creating noise, odor, vibration or traffic outside normal residential patterns. Certain uses (auto repair, kennels, adult businesses, funeral services) are prohibited as home occupations. Home occupation permits or registrations may be required; consult Huntersville Planning.
Zoning violation letter and civil penalties up to $500 per day for continuing violations under town enforcement authority.
