Home Occupation Regulations
Home occupations may be established in any principal dwelling unit. The purpose of these regulations is to allow certain business-type uses to take place in a residence while nonetheless preserving the residential character of the property in particular and the neighborhood in general. Customary home occupations shall be incidental to a residential unit and shall not be considered a substitute to traditional retail establishments which rely on a substantial amount of walk-in traffic.
A Zoning Certificate of Compliance Permit is required prior to the commencement of the home occupation. Permits can be found at https://www.cityofgastonia.com/zoning/applications-and-permits.html .
