You can run a business from a Paulding County home, but the zoning ordinance keeps it low-impact: the office fills no more than one room, only residents plus one incidental outside employee may work there, and you hold a county occupation tax certificate.
Home occupations in unincorporated Paulding County follow Title 2, Chapter 230 of the zoning ordinance, Section 230-30. The home office may use no more than one room and no more than 25 percent of the dwelling's floor area. There is no sale, manufacture, or repair of merchandise on site and no storing inventory, though a mail-order business with no on-site customers is fine. Only residents may work there, plus one incidental non-resident employee. Every operator also files a home-based Occupation Tax Certificate application with the county Business License Division in Dallas.
Running a home business without a county occupation tax certificate, or exceeding the Section 230-30 home occupation standards, is a code violation subject to citation and enforcement until the property comes back into compliance.
