Oklahoma City allows home occupations under §59-5450 as accessory use. No external customers, no employees, no signage. Oklahoma Home Bakery Act protects cottage food sales.
Oklahoma City Municipal Code §59-5450 permits home occupations as accessory uses in all residential zones provided: (1) the business is clearly incidental to residential use, (2) no on-site employees other than residents, (3) no commercial deliveries by large trucks, (4) no exterior evidence of the business, (5) no more than 25 percent of the dwelling dedicated to the business. A Certificate of Home Occupation plus business license is required. Edmond Code §22-19 and Midwest City §30-160 use similar frameworks. Unincorporated Oklahoma County allows home-based businesses with minimal regulation. The Oklahoma Home Bakery Act (63 O.S. §1-1.10, 2013, amended 2018 to raise cap to $75,000 annual gross sales) allows direct-to-consumer sale of non-potentially-hazardous baked goods without a food license or health inspection. HOAs in master-planned communities may still prohibit all business activity.
Operating without permit: cease-and-desist order, $100 to $500 per day (OKC §59-9999). Zoning violation may trigger business license revocation.
