Chapter 348 (Land Use and Development Regulations) governs home occupations in Toms River Township. Home professional offices and home occupations under 500 square feet within existing buildings are permitted in districts where they are allowed as accessory uses or conditional uses, provided all conditions are met. Key restrictions include: no customers, patients, or patrons may regularly visit the site, and commercial vehicles are not permitted unless meeting the requirements of Section 348-5.26 for single-family dwellings. The business must be clearly incidental and subordinate to the residential use of the property. Residents should contact the Zoning Office to determine if their zoning district permits home occupations.
Operating a home business in violation of zoning regulations may result in a cease-and-desist order and fines. Contact Zoning at 732-341-1000, ext. 8449.
