Effective January 1, 2013, part of the business license application process will be the verification

application, please review the following list of either business types or processes that typically  
require a permit. If you are one of these types of businesses or perform one or more of the 
operations, you will need to contact the Peoria Fire Department – Fire Prevention Division to 
apply for the necessary permit. 
 
In order for the Fire Department to approve the business license application the business must 
have a current year Operational Permit or have started the application process. The Fire

               Section 14-3 Home Occupations                                               Not Applicable
 
 A home occupation is an accessory use of the primary dwelling unit permitted either by-right or by 
 conditional use permit.   Home occupations are generally conducted and located such that the average 
 neighbor, under normal circumstances, would not be aware of their existence.  The standards set forth in 
 this section of the City of Peoria Zoning Ordinance are intended to ensure compatibility of the home 
 occupation use with the residential character of the neighborhood.   The proposed use shall be clearly 
 accessory or incidental to the residential use of the main building to qualify as a home occupation use under 
 this section. 
 
 (Please initial at each statement indicating that you have read and understand each of the 
 above requirements.) 
 
 A.  A Home Occupation where permitted, except for Day Care Group Homes, shall be considered a 
     permitted accessory use when it complies with the following regulations. 
 
               1.  No changes shall be made which alter the residential appearance of the building.  This 
               shall include alterations or additions to the existing building(s) and construction of parking 
               areas or garages in excess of what is common to the surrounding area. 
 
               2.  No signs shall be allowed advertising a Home Occupation. 
 
               3.   Home Occupations shall not have exterior display, exterior storage of materials or 
               equipment or other exterior indication of the Home Occupation. 
 
               4.    The Home Occupation shall not be discernable from beyond the premises, particularly 
               emissions of noise, light, dust, gas, vibration, odor or smoke. 
 
               5.    The Home Occupation shall not involve more than one (1) business caller or visitor at a 
               time and not more than two visitors per hour, nor commercial deliveries or outside services 
               beyond those normal and incidental to the residential uses in the district. 
 
               6.    The Home Occupation shall be conducted by a resident or residents of the dwelling unit 
               only.  No outside employees shall be employed at the site, and not more than one employee 
               may report to the site for off-site employment. 
 
               7.    No unusual load shall be placed on power, sewer, water or other utilities as a result of the 
               Home Occupation use. 
 
               8.  External activity resulting from the Home Occupation shall be limited to the hours 
               between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. 
 
               9.    No more than two (2) commercial vehicles may be parked on the Home Occupation site 
               for personal use, except as provided by the City Code and no storage of commercial vehicles 
               shall be allowed. 
 
               10.  All Home Occupations shall be subject to the standards contained herein and shall be 
               approved by the City prior to the initiation of any business activity. 
 
               11.  A valid sales tax and/or business license shall be obtained for the Home Occupation use. 
 
 I  hereby  certify  that  I  have  read  and  understood  the  above  regulations  concerning  Home 
 Occupations. I agree to comply with them.  Further, it is my understanding that failure to comply 
 with the above regulations or complaints received from local residents may cause my license to 
 be revoked.
