FAQ Tag: Zoning Standards

Do I need a license if I run a business out of my home?

Yes. In addition, a home-based business must comply with City of San Rafael Zoning Standards.

Are there any restrictions on where I do business?

Every business must abide by the City’s zoning requirements. Before signing any lease or rental agreement, please contact the City’s Planning Division to make sure your business activity is appropriate for the area’s current zoning designation and that it will not require a public hearing or special parking considerations.
