Sahuarita, AZ Home Business: Zoning Restrictions (2026)

The Sahuarita zoning ordinance allows home occupations as accessory uses in residential zoning districts subject to specific conditions. The business must be conducted entirely within the dwelling and must be clearly incidental and secondary to the residential use of the property. There must be no exterior evidence of the business other than a small nameplate sign if permitted. The business must not generate customer traffic, commercial deliveries, noise, odors, vibrations, or other impacts perceptible to neighbors. No employees other than residents of the dwelling may work at the home business location. The business may not involve the storage of commercial inventory or equipment visible from the street or neighboring properties. Home businesses that comply with these conditions typically do not require a special use permit but may need a business license from the Town. Businesses that exceed the home occupation standards, such as those with regular customer visits, employees, or commercial vehicle traffic, may require a conditional use permit with public hearing. Rancho Sahuarita HOA CC&Rs also address home businesses and may impose additional restrictions on visible business activity.
