Question

What are the regulations regarding home businesses?

Answer

Monroe County has two land use designations for home businesses, a "Home Occupation" and a "Home Based Business." The home based business is conducted in the primary residential structure or one accessory structure. The home occupation is based entirely within the primary residential structure. Both home businesses are only permitted in certain zoning districts and with additional restrictions. A staff member will help you determine if a home business is allowed in your zoning district.
