Oklahoma City, OK Home Business: Zoning & Home Occupation Permits (2026)

Section 59-12200.3.C treats a home occupation as an accessory use tied to residential zoning, not a separate license. It must be the home occupation or professional office of someone who lives in the main building, and no one may be employed who isn't a member of the immediate family living on the premises. No signs are allowed for home occupations, the home can't be altered to attract business, no extra curb cuts or paved front yard parking beyond the driveway is permitted, and no goods may be created, stored, exchanged, or sold on-site (no shop or store). Noisy, dusty, or odor-producing mechanical equipment is barred, and nothing can be stored outside the home. A narrower carve-out lets an artist studio (painter, sculptor, photographer, etc.) hire up to two non-family employees and post one small non-illuminated plaque in the NC District.
