Nature of Proposed Alterations Intended, if any, be specific:
When is a Home Occupation Permit required?
  • Prior to commencing any activity within a Residential District which may be classified as a business, service, occupation, profession, activity or other use and which is not otherwise permitted in a residential zoning district, an application for a Home Occupation Permit shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator for review and approval.
  • Examples of typical businesses which may be allowed by Home Occupation Permits might include typing or drafting services, computer design services and consulting businesses, provided all work is picked up and delivered to the client by you; businesses such as artisans, home crafters and jewelry making are allowed if the product is sold off-site (i.e. flea market, retail store, etc.). Home Occupations also include those businesses in which only telephone and mail services are used. Delivery of items by truck shall not exceed one delivery per day.
  • It is the intent of the City of Trotwood to regulate home occupations so the average resident of the neighborhood, under normal circumstances, will not be aware of their existence.
What do I have to do to receive a permit?
  • Complete a Home Occupation Permit application, review and affirm the Certifications below and submit to the Zoning Administrator’s Office.
  • The information on the application should be in compliance with the requirements of Section 1189.05 of the Zoning Code.
What’s the next step?
  • When review of the application is completed you will be notified by Email that the application has been approved, or if additional information is required. The review period is normally a minimum of two (2) business days.
Additional permits?
  • Review the need for additional permits with the Zoning Administrator.
Questions?
  • If you have any questions a staff member in the Zoning Administrator’s Office is available to assist you Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 937.854.7227.
