Home business regulations set by individual Bucks County township zoning codes. No county-level home occupation rules. PA MPC (Act 247) provides framework. Most townships permit home occupations as accessory uses with conditions. Some distinguish no-impact home-based businesses.
Bucks County does not have county-level home occupation regulations. Each of the 54 municipalities regulates home businesses through its zoning ordinance under the PA Municipalities Planning Code (Act 247). Most Bucks County townships permit home occupations as accessory uses in residential zones with conditions specified in supplementary regulations. Some municipalities (like Quakertown) distinguish between home occupations and no-impact home-based businesses with different requirements. Typical conditions include operating from the principal dwelling, limitations on employees, off-street parking requirements, and prohibition of external evidence of the business. The Bucks County Planning Commission assists municipalities with developing zoning ordinances but does not directly regulate home businesses.
