Can I run a home business here?
A home occupation must remain incidental and secondary to the residence. Outside-family employees are not allowed, exterior display, signage, exterior storage, and other exterior indications are not allowed, and the activity cannot create unusual traffic or nuisance impacts. This pack covers incorporated Rockwall city limits only. The UDC states zoning applies within the corporate limits and lands subject to zoning jurisdiction as conferred by state law, but Texas cities may not zone ETJ land under current Texas law and Texas counties do not provide general zoning. ETJ and unincorporated Rockwall County parcels are out of scope for this draft.
