Definition:

Home occupation (H.O.P.) means an occupation carried on by an occupant of a dwelling unit as a

secondary use dwelling unit for residential purposes, and is operated in accordance with applicable

provisions of the Zoning Ordinance.

The following provisions shall apply to home occupations (per Section 27751 of the Zoning Ordinance adopted by the

Board of Commissioners April 13, 1999):

There shall be no exterior evidence of the home occupation.

No use shall create noise, dust, vibration, odor, smoke, glare or electrical interference that would be

detectable beyond the dwelling unit.

The use shall be conducted entirely within the dwelling unit and only persons living in the dwelling unit

shall be employed at the location of the home occupation.

No more than 25% of the dwelling unit and in no case more than 500sq. ft., whichever is less may be used

for the conduct of the home occupation.

No use shall involve public contact on the property and no article, product, or service shall be sold on the

premises other than by telephone. (Note: A special Land Use Permit may be applied for the customer

(public) contact, which must be approved by the Board of Commissioners at a public hearing. Contact the

Planning Dept. for information (4043712155).

No materials or equipment shall be stored on the premises upon which the home occupation is located,

except where such materials and equipment are stored entirely within the residence.

No vehicle other than a passenger automobile, passenger van, or passenger truck shall be used in the

conduct of a home occupation, and no other vehicle shall be parked or stored on the premises.

No home occupation shall be operated so as to create a nuisance.

Home occupation shall not include the use of a dwelling unit for the purpose of operating any automobile

repair establishment, taxi service, van service, limousine service, wrecker service, car wash, or

ammunition or firearms sales establishment.

I certify that I reside at the address shown for the proposed business and that it is my principal residence. I hereby

acknowledge that I have received a copy of the zoning regulations covering Home Occupation as shown above and

will comply with it. I am aware that failure to comply with said requirements would result in revocation of business

license and/or legal action by DeKalb County.
