Victorville, CA Home Business: Zoning Restrictions (2026)

Victorville Development Code (VMC Title 17) treats home-based businesses as home occupations, a permitted accessory use in single-family and multifamily residential zones when licensed through a home occupation permit and city business license. The residence must remain the primary use, and the business must be conducted entirely inside the dwelling or a fully enclosed accessory structure. Employees must be limited to residents of the dwelling, and the use must generate no noise, vibration, glare, odor, dust, or traffic beyond what a normal household would produce. No outdoor storage of business equipment, materials, or signage is allowed. Typical permitted uses include home offices, consulting, professional practice, tutoring, small-scale crafting, and telework. Prohibited uses include auto repair, welding, body piercing or tattooing, medical or dental offices with patients on site, and any use that requires retail walk-in traffic. California AB 1616 and AB 1240 Cottage Food Operations run under a separate state-set framework. Complaints come to Code Enforcement at (760) 955-5104 which may revoke the home occupation permit.
