Home occupations in unincorporated Johnson County are permitted as an accessory use under the county zoning regulations, subject to conditions keeping the business subordinate to the residence — limits on area, employees and external impact.
Unincorporated Johnson County allows home occupations as an accessory use under the county zoning regulations — no rezoning needed, but the business must stay clearly secondary to the home. The county's conditions follow the standard pattern: limits on how much floor area the business occupies, how many employees work on site, and how much external impact it creates. Stay within those limits and the use is permitted; outgrow them and you're no longer running a home occupation, you're running a commercial use in a residential zone. County Planning can confirm the current conditions.
