I want to start a business and operate out on my home. What do I need to do?
In order to preserve the residential style, there are very specific requirements for home occupations. For this reason, some types of businesses are NOT allowed in a residential zone. Some of these requirements are;
1. No more than 10% of the home, including basement & garage, may be used for the business,
2. The number of deliveries are restricted to two or less per day,
3. Only one non-resident employee is allowed on the premises at any one time;
4. No more than two customers, clients, pupils, etc. shall be permitted at any one time;
5. No signs are allowed in a residential zone
6. Licenses are required from the Metro Division of Inspections, Permits & Licensing AND the City of Jeffersontown Department of Revenue.

Please contact this office for more specific information.
