HB 1309 Indiana House · 2026 Regular Session

Local regulation of no impact home based businesses.

HB 1309 limits how cities and counties can regulate home-based businesses that cause no neighborhood disruption (like noise, traffic, or pollution). It directly affects small home business owners and local governments that enforce business zoning rules. The bill prevents municipalities from imposing unnecessary fees, licensing requirements, or zoning restrictions on these low-impact operations. This creates a clear standard that local rules cannot apply if a business has "no impact" on the community. The bill is currently referred to the Committee on Local Government for review.
