Guadalupe County cannot zone, so a home business in unincorporated areas faces no county location, use, or floor-area limits. Only recorded deed restrictions or an HOA constrain what you run from your house. Inside Seguin, Schertz, or Cibolo, city zoning applies.
Texas counties have no general zoning authority, and the Legislature has never given Guadalupe County power over land use in unincorporated areas. A home occupation there needs no county zoning permit, home-occupation license, or conditional-use approval, and the county sets no cap on business floor area. What can limit you is private: recorded subdivision deed restrictions enforced by a homeowners association or neighbors in civil court. Inside the city limits of Seguin, Schertz, Cibolo, or Marion, that municipality's home-occupation and zoning rules govern instead.
The county issues no home-occupation citations. A deed-restriction breach is enforced by the HOA or a neighbor through civil suit, which can win an injunction ordering the business to stop plus the association's attorney fees.
