Simpsonville, SC Home Business: Zoning & Home Occupation Permits (2026)

Code sec. 10-41 requires every person to obtain a business license prior to operating within the municipality. The Zoning Ordinance ties home occupations to that license: sec. 3.3.8(G) provides that any home occupation with a current valid City of Simpsonville business license at the ordinance's effective date may continue indefinitely as long as the license is renewed each year, but if the license expires or is revoked the home occupation may only be reestablished in accordance with the current provisions. Operational standards (no more than two clients at a time, one non-resident employee, one business vehicle, no outdoor storage) also apply.
