Visalia allows home occupations in residential zones under specific conditions. The business must be secondary to residential use with no visible exterior changes.
Visalia's zoning ordinance allows home occupations as accessory uses in residential districts. The home must maintain its residential character. No more than a limited percentage of the home's floor area may be used for business. Only residents may work in the business—no outside employees on-site. The business must not generate noise, traffic, or odors beyond residential norms. Exterior signage is generally prohibited. Businesses requiring hazardous material storage or regular customer visits are typically not allowed. A home occupation permit or business license may be required.
