To operate a home based business there must be a home on the property and the business must be operated by the occupant(s) of the home. Home based businesses are an important part of the City's economy, however, the City needs to ensure that neighbourhood character is maintained and employees are safe. As a result, there are limitations on the operation of a home based business.
The City categorizes home based businesses into 3 types, each with their own set of regulations.
Type 1 is for residents of a townhouse or apartment. Review our Type 1 Home Based Business brochure for more information.
Type 2 is for residents of single detached lots, under 1,200 square meters. Review our Type 2 Home Based Business brochure for more information.
Type 3 is for residents of single detached lots, 1,200 square meters and over. Review our Type 3 Home Based Business brochure for more information.
