Legal Restrictions on Home Offices

Setting up a home office means that you work and live in the same space. You may think that your home is your castle, but the government will beg to differ with you!

  • Zoning rules are often used by local governments to bar or limit the types of businesses that can be operated in a residence.
  • The federal government also regulates the types of businesses you can run from your home.

You need to consider the impact that these restrictions will have on your home business.
