Plant City permits home occupations in most residential zones as an accessory use. Business must be clearly secondary to residential use, conducted entirely within the home, and not alter the residential character of the neighborhood.
Plant City Land Development Code allows home occupations subject to standards: operator must reside on premises; no non-resident employees on-site; no outdoor storage or display of materials; no commercial vehicles over 1 ton stored on premises; operation contained within dwelling (not accessory structures in most cases). A Business Tax Receipt (BTR) is required from the city — $30-$75 annually depending on classification.
