Vestavia Hills requires a conditional use approval from the Planning and Zoning Commission for home occupations. Home occupations must be limited to office or personal service uses and must be conducted only in the principal dwelling. Applications are due 25 working days before the Commission meeting.
Home occupations in Vestavia Hills require conditional use approval rather than a simple permit. The Planning and Zoning Commission (meets 2nd Thursday of each month at 6 PM) reviews applications to ensure the home business is clearly incidental to the residential character. After conditional use approval, a city business license is required. The Liberty Park PUD has a separate provision allowing home occupation licenses without conditional use approval.
Operating without permit: $100 to $500. Zoning violation: $250+/day. Business license violation: separate penalty.
