How can I get a zoning exception for a home based business so that I can get a business license?
The answer to your question is simple; it depends on where you
live. Some local municipalities have zoning laws (ordinances) to
determine as to how you can use your residence for a home based
business. In some cities these ordinances may or may not permit you
to post signs, generate customer traffic, stock inventory, and so
forth. It all depends. The best way to find out for sure is to have
a business research company examine city ordinances for you. Not
only is the business research company available to research the
info for you, but they can also apply for your business license as
well as your zoning permit or even help you get local
authorization.
