Can I run a home business here?

This pack could not locate a dedicated home-occupation standard in the Land Development Code after searching Chapter 4 (Zoning), Chapter 5 (Standards), Chapter 7 (Use Regulations), and Chapter 8 (Development Standards) live this session, including an independent re-search by a verifier session. Sec. 405.23.3 addresses home-based social/religious assemblies, not a commercial home-business standard. But the LDC's silence does not mean a home business is unrestricted, or that the City can ban one outright: Florida's Home-Based Business Act, F.S. 559.955, is a state-law floor that applies here regardless of local code language. It generally protects a home-based business from extra local licensing or restriction if it keeps on-site staffing to residents of the home plus up to two outside employees or contractors, does not generate more parking or traffic than a similar non-business residence, looks like a normal residential use from the street with retail sales only on-site, stays secondary to the home's residential use, and does not create a nuisance beyond what a non-business residence could create. It does not override HOA or condo association rules. Home-based business licensing (a business tax receipt) most likely sits in the City's separate Code of Ordinances, a different Municode product this session did not fetch. Confirm the applicable rule and any permit requirement with the Building, Planning and Zoning Department (954-602-3200) before starting a home-based business. This pack covers incorporated Miramar city limits only; Florida municipalities have no ETJ zoning.
