Can someone help me with this? Its a legal question.? -

Does anyone know what this means:The following section describes special conditions under which certain uses are permitted in a zoning district. A building permit or certificate of occupancy shall not be issued for any permitted use with special conditions until all of the required conditions have been met....Home occupation (residential). A home occupation is an occupation carried on as an accessory use in the main structure of home by a resident without the employment of additional persons, without the use of a sign to advertise the occupation, without offering any commodity or service for sale on the premises, which does not create obnoxious noise or other obnoxious conditions to abutting residential property such as emission of odor, increased traffic or generation of light or smoke. A home occupation shall specifically exclude the operation of a repair garage, plumbing shop or similar activity. Does this mean that I can run a small business out of my apartment? There would be no extra people going in and out of the apartment and there will be no signs or loud music. I would be the only person working there.

you probably could run a small business out of your apartment but there might be regulations from your landlord prohibiting it. also you need to be in compliance with all the tax laws and other laws. you should consult a tax attorney or a small business lawyer. you could also get info from the Small Business Administration (http://www.sba.gov/) in your area. they might have more information specific to your area that could help you answer your questions.

Don t take legal advice from Yahoo Answers!Ask the zoning board or whoever it is who generated the paragraphs that you re quoting to us. They re the only ones who can tell you for absolutely certain whether or not your home business will be allowed.

yes you can. Provided that it is legitimate....

It would appear that you could but would still be beneficial to check with the city you live in and landlord

Check with your landlord and the zoning dept.

All that is telling you in a nutshell is this....you can run your business from home...but it cannot be a commercial business were you have people stoping by and you cannot have any signs posted saying here is my business ...most city have this since more and more people begin working from home..no big deal....if you are the sole proprietor you should have no problem...getting a permit or license to do business from home......just like an Real Estate salesperson.....this applies to appartment dwellers only....if you have a home...that s a whole diffrent senario....(this information was supplied to you as advise only...and i am not an attorney...for specific zonining requirements consult with you local chamber of commerce.
