Montgomery County sets no home-business zoning. Each of its 62 boroughs and townships regulates home occupations under the PA Municipalities Planning Code. Check your municipality's zoning ordinance for whether and how a business may operate from your home.
Pennsylvania counties do not do land-use zoning. Zoning authority, including home occupations, is delegated to each borough and township under the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code (Act 247, 53 P.S. 10101 et seq.). Your municipal zoning ordinance decides whether a home occupation is permitted by right, as an accessory use, or by special exception, and it sets conditions on floor area, employees, customer traffic, and outside storage. Because these rules vary widely across Montgomery County's 62 municipalities, always confirm with your local zoning officer before starting a home-based business.
Zoning violations are enforced by the municipality: notice of violation, cease-and-desist, and civil penalties. The MPC authorizes fines up to $500 per day of a continuing violation, imposed through the local district court.
