Romeoville regulates home occupations through its Zoning Code (Chapter 159). Home-based businesses must operate as an accessory use in residential zones and comply with conditions that preserve residential character. No alteration to the exterior of the dwelling is permitted. Contact Planning & Zoning at 815-886-7200 for current requirements.
Romeoville's zoning ordinance permits home occupations in residential zones subject to a home occupation permit. The business must be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the dwelling. Typical requirements include: the business occupies no more than 25% of the home's floor area, no more than 1-2 non-resident employees may work on-site, no retail sales to walk-in customers, no exterior storage of materials or equipment, and no noise, odor, or traffic impacts that differ from normal residential activity. Professional services (consulting, accounting, web design) typically qualify easily. Businesses generating significant traffic or requiring commercial signage may not be approved.
Operating without a home occupation permit carries fines of $100–$500. Businesses exceeding permit conditions receive warnings followed by permit revocation and fines of $200–$1,000 per day.
