Collier County's Land Development Code (LDC 5.02.03) allows home occupations in zoning districts that permit dwellings, but the business must be clearly incidental to residential use, conducted by an occupant, generate no extra traffic, and not change the home's residential character.
In unincorporated Collier County a home occupation is a permitted accessory use in residential districts under LDC Section 5.02.03, so long as it stays subordinate to living in the home. The code requires that the occupation be clearly incidental to the dwelling's residential use and be carried on by an occupant of the home. There may be no retail sale of goods from the premises, no outside storage, and no on-site or off-site advertising signs. The activity may not create more traffic, noise, or nuisance than a normal residence, and it must comply with all applicable county business tax receipt requirements. Cities like Naples set their own home-occupation rules inside city limits.
Operating a home business that violates LDC 5.02.03 (signs, employees, retail traffic) can prompt Collier Code Enforcement notices, daily fines, and orders to cease the use.
