City prohibits running business from home garage
So I just found that out today...I live in Arizona and it just bummed me out. I was planning on going mobile, but doing the longer, more time consuming details out of my garage. I checked with the city, they said I'm not allowed to run a business out of my own garage. I'm only a one man company, and I'll only be doing 1 to 2 cars a week probably at home. Should I just do it anyway? Does anybody else have this kind of issue? Thanks for any suggestions!

I guess it depends whether they care enough to follow up and check if he is doing it anyway...so given the typical civil servant I guess you're right, he's pretty safe.

Re: City prohibits running business from home garage
My Father in law did it for years.When you have it in your garage or driveway,, do not have any signs of your business posted. If you ever get a complaint (and that is really the only reason they would even care) and someone shows up, all you say is , no sir that car is my good friends. He just left it with me. I owed him a favor.

How much is the fine if you get caught?

I think you will find that most cities have this ordinance, but rarely enforce it unless it becomes an issue of cars stacking up, trash, complaints, etc.

Re: City prohibits running business from home garage
I'm thinking if my neighbors complained, but I doubt they would. Anyone know how much the fine would be if I got caught? Or would they just give a warning first?

Re: City prohibits running business from home garage
This is probably more a case of ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
If anyone asks, say you didn't know it was illegal to run a business from your home.

Re: City prohibits running business from home garage
I've done over 50 full corrections in my home garage over the course of 3 years. Don't put signs up and take cash only. Word of mouth is best advertisement. Just hope the word doesn't get to the wrong mouth. I'd say you're fine....the IRS has bigger fish to fry.
