Orland Park, IL Home Business: Zoning Restrictions (2026)

Orland Park's Land Development Code allows home occupations in residential districts (R-1 through R-4 single-family and multi-family zones) as accessory uses. The home occupation must be conducted entirely within the principal dwelling by residents of the household. The business activity may not occupy more than a limited percentage of the dwelling's floor area (typically 25%). No noise, odor, vibration, smoke, dust, glare, or electrical interference beyond normal residential levels may be produced. No stock-in-trade may be sold from the premises. Exterior evidence including signs, outdoor storage, or display windows is prohibited. Customer or client visits generating traffic beyond normal residential levels are not permitted. Only members of the immediate family residing at the dwelling may be employed at the home. Specifically prohibited home occupations include auto repair, manufacturing, beauty shops serving multiple clients, kennels, and medical or dental practices. Orland Park's Development Services Department, located at Village Hall, 14700 South Ravinia Avenue, administers home occupation compliance. Many subdivisions in Orland Park, including Crystal Tree, Siena, and other large HOA communities, impose private restrictions that may further limit home businesses beyond Village rules.
