If you want to start a a business, but you don’t need space in a commercial building, you might want to use your residence as your home office.
A home-based business or home occupation is a business whose office is located in the owner’s home. The primary use of the building is residential, with its secondary use as a home office. However, home occupations are not permitted in all zones in Sparwood. Please see the Permitted Uses section in the Zoning Bylaw to determine if a home occupation is permitted within your zone. We recommend that you consult with the Planning Department prior to applying for a home occupation business licence. You can obtain a home occupation business licence application form here.
