Home occupations in Smyrna, TN

What the Smyrna zoning ordinance says about home occupations, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

All districts

Customary incidental home occupations are allowed in all residential districts with no exterior display or storage, no variation from the home's residential character beyond an announcement sign of up to 4 sq ft, no nuisance impacts, and no more traffic than the neighborhood would normally expect. The Board of Zoning Appeals settles questions of legality, and activities such as tea rooms, tourist homes, real estate offices, mortuaries, animal clinics, and retail sales do not qualify. Overlays, planned-development approvals, recorded conditions, and Article VI exceptions can change the parcel-specific result; confirm with Smyrna Planning and Zoning before relying on this answer.
