Home-based businesses in Pompano Beach require a Zoning Use Certificate (ZUC) as the first step for a Business Tax Receipt. The ZUC confirms the proposed use is permitted at the specific location. Home occupations must be incidental to the residential use. The Zoning Code Chapter 155 establishes where different uses are permitted by district.
Pompano Beach requires a Zoning Use Certificate (ZUC) as Step 1 for obtaining a Business Tax Receipt. The ZUC is processed by the Planning and Zoning Department to confirm whether a proposed use is permitted at a particular location. Home occupations must be clearly subordinate and incidental to the principal residential use. The Zoning Code Article 3 establishes permitted uses by district. Home businesses must not alter the residential character through signage, traffic, noise, parking impacts, or outdoor storage. The city's Camino online tool allows property owners to look up their zoning designation. Certain professional and personal services may qualify as home occupations with appropriate ZUC approval.
Operating a home business without a ZUC and BTR violates city code. Non-conforming uses face enforcement.
