Check the Zoning Regulations Before Operating a Business Out of Your Home!
Modern technology and our ever-changing economy are causing more people to consider starting up or basing their existing businesses from home. Many communities have embraced this concept and have enacted zoning regulations that make it easier to do just that. Some jurisdictions, however, still have regulations on their books that make operating a business from home a real challenge. Regardless of where your community falls on this spectrum, it is important to know what the rules are before you start operating a business from your residence. If you live in a community without any zoning regulations you can do just about anything you want to on your property but it is advisable to check to make sure there are no recorded restrictive covenants that limit or prohibit non-residential or commercial activities in the subdivision. Assuming that there are zoning laws that apply to the property, or if you are uncertain whether your area is subject to zoning, the first step is to call the local government. There are many different names for the division of government that may regulate such matters, such as building inspection, codes and permits, or the zoning office, but if you call the general city or county number and explain what you need to know, they will direct you to the right place.
