Oxnard allows home-based businesses with a Home Occupation Permit (HOP). The business must be secondary to the residential use, operated by the resident, and not change the character of the neighborhood.
Under Oxnard's zoning code, home occupations are permitted in residential zones with an approved Home Occupation Permit. The business must be conducted entirely within the dwelling or an attached garage. No more than one non-resident employee is typically allowed. The business may not generate excessive traffic, noise, or odors. Outdoor storage of business materials or equipment is prohibited. The home must remain primarily residential in character.
Operating a home business without a permit or violating conditions may result in code enforcement action and potential business closure.
