SB 77 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to home occupations on resource lands.

SB 77 amends Oregon law (ORS 215.448) to establish specific rules for home occupations on properties zoned for exclusive farm, forest, or mixed farm/forest use. It directly affects rural property owners who wish to operate small home-based businesses on their land. Key provisions include limiting operations to 5 employees total, restricting activities like on-site dining or large gatherings, requiring the business to be run by a resident/owner within a 2,000 sq. ft. area (inside the home or accessory structures), and capping client vehicle parking at three. The bill also prohibits using home occupations as justification for changing land zoning.
