Use and Occupancy

Home Businesses

Some businesses are permitted to operate out of homes in residential districts (RC, R-½, R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4) if they meet the following conditions:

No-Impact Home-Based Businesses are permitted by right if they meet the definition and requirements. No approval is necessary from Tredyffrin Township. If you require written confirmation from the Township that the business is authorized, send a letter to the Township certifying that your business will comply with all of the requirements for a no-impact home-based business and we will respond with written confirmation. Be sure to include the property address where the business will be located in the letter.

If the proposed business to be operated out of the home does not meet the requirements above for a no-impact home-based business, it still may be permitted by special exception as a Home Occupation or a Professional Office that is an accessory use to a home in a residential zoning district (RC, R-½, R-1, R-2, R-3 and R-4) if it meets the requirements described.
