Chicago Home Occupation Rules
Chicago's Zoning Ordinance permits home occupations as accessory uses in residential districts subject to performance standards. The business must be clearly secondary to the residential use, must not employ non-residents working on the premises, and must not generate customer traffic or exterior evidence of commercial activity. Contact the Department of Buildings for home occupation permit requirements.
