In the unincorporated county, home occupations are allowed by Lane Code Chapter 16 zoning. A minor home occupation must be conducted substantially in the dwelling or an accessory structure and cannot exceed 1,000 square feet of floor area.
Lane Code Chapter 16 governs zoning for rural land outside urban growth boundaries. In the Rural Residential (RR) zone, LC 16.290 allows a 'minor home occupation and/or home office' and, with land-use approval, a larger 'home occupation.' A minor home occupation must be operated substantially indoors and stay within 1,000 square feet of floor area; no more than five persons may work there, and (with one exception) they must reside on the property. Customers may not come to the property for a minor home occupation. Inside urban growth boundaries the parallel provisions of Lane Code Chapter 10 apply, and cities zone land within their own limits.
Operating outside the zoning standards is a land-use code violation enforced by Lane County Land Management, subject to abatement and penalties under LC Chapter 14 procedures.
