Home-based businesses permitted in residential dwellings.

HF 1525 allows residents to operate home-based businesses in their homes without needing local permits, as long as the business is "no-impact" (meaning it doesn't increase traffic, parking, or street visibility and stays within residential occupancy limits). Municipalities cannot require permits for these businesses but may set reasonable rules for health, safety, and neighborhood compatibility. The bill does not override existing property restrictions like deed covenants or homeowner association rules, and it prohibits requiring rezoning or fire sprinklers in single-family homes. This law directly affects homeowners and tenants running small home businesses and local governments managing zoning regulations.
