Residential Business Licenses

The City of Yorba Linda allows home occupations in most residential zoning districts. They must comply with the following regulations.

There shall be no stock-in-trade other than products in the home occupation.

A home occupation shall be conducted in a dwelling and shall be clearly incidental to the use of the structure as a dwelling.

There shall be no external alteration of the dwelling in which a home occupation is conducted, and the existence of a home occupation shall not be apparent beyond the boundaries of the site, except for a nameplate in accord with the provisions of Section 15 (Signs in R Zones).

No one other than a resident of the dwelling shall be employed in the conduct of a home occupation.

No motor or mechanical equipment shall be permitted other than normally incidental to the use of the structure as a dwelling.

A home occupation shall not create any radio or television interference or create noise audible beyond the boundaries of the site.

No smoke, odor, liquid, or solid waste shall be emitted.

No vehicles or trailers (including pick-up trucks and vans) or construction or other equipment, except those normally incidental to residential use, shall be kept on the site.

A home occupation shall not create pedestrian, automobile, or truck traffic significantly in excess of the normal amount in the district.

A Residential Business License Certificate is required before a home occupation can begin operation. The certificate can be obtained from the Business License Technician in the Finance Department. For more information about licensing a home-based business, please call (714) 961-7145.
