Teaneck permits limited home occupations in residential zones when clearly incidental to the dwelling and conducted entirely indoors by residents only.
Teaneck Township's zoning chapter authorizes home occupations as accessory uses in residential districts. The activity must be secondary to residential use, conducted entirely within the dwelling, and operated only by occupants. No exterior alterations, outdoor storage, or display of goods are allowed. Nonresident employees are prohibited, and the home occupation cannot occupy more than a limited percentage of floor area. Manufacturing, repair shops generating noise, and uses creating traffic, odor, smoke, or vibration detectable beyond the property line are not permitted as home occupations.
Zoning officer issues notices of violation; continued operation may trigger municipal court summonses and daily penalties.
