Can I run a business in my home?

Certain low impact businesses can be run from home. Regulations are in place to ensure that home businesses are compatible with residential neighborhoods. The business may only occupy one room of the home or in a detached garage. Signs are limited in size and content, retail display of goods are limited, and only the resident of the home may work in a home based business. Other regulations are also in place.
