Lehi, UT Home Business: Zoning & Home Occupation Permits (2026)

020 requires an approved Home Occupation Permit. The Zoning Administrator can only approve one if the applicant actually lives in the residence, makes no exterior alteration that would break the home's residential appearance, and keeps the business to no more than 25% of the dwelling's total finished, livable floor area, counting any garage or accessory-building space used for the business toward that cap. The work has to be invisible from the street, garage doors must stay closed while business is conducted, and it cannot create a nuisance or disrupt the neighborhood's residential character.

A certificate of occupancy must already be on the residence, and the applicant needs an annual Lehi City Business License on top of the permit. Only one home occupation is allowed per residence unless the applicant proves added ones will not affect the area's residential nature, and a non-owner applicant must submit the legal owner's written permission. 010 frames these as a temporary privilege the City grants, not a right, and the Zoning Administrator may attach operating conditions at approval or later to protect neighborhood health, safety and welfare. 080.
