Unincorporated Pinal County allows a home occupation in most residential and rural zones only if it stays secondary to the home: no more than one-fourth of one story (or a 400-sq-ft accessory building), one nonresident employee, and no change to residential character.
Pinal County zones unincorporated land under A.R.S. 11-811. Section 2.150.260 requires the home occupation be conducted within the dwelling or an accessory building of not more than 400 square feet, using not more than one-fourth of the floor area of one story of the main dwelling. The residential character of the property must not change; no outdoor storage of equipment or materials; no sustained noise, vibration, fumes, odors, or traffic congestion; all parking on-site with no commercial striping; no overnight accommodations. Prohibited uses include auto repair, salons, commercial food preparation, kennels, welding, and tattoo parlors.
Operating a business that exceeds these limits or changes the residential character is a zoning violation subject to code enforcement action by the Planning Division.
