IN HB1309

Municipalities cannot prohibit "no impact home based businesses" or require permits, licenses, variances, or other approvals to operate them, effective July 1, 2026

A "no impact home based business" must meet specific criteria: on-site employees and clients within occupancy limits, no substantial traffic increase, activities inside the home or yard, and not visible from the street

Municipalities may still establish narrowly tailored regulations for public health and safety purposes, including fire/building codes, sanitation, traffic control, waste management, and noise control

Private deed restrictions, covenants, and homeowners association or condominium association rules remain enforceable and are not superseded by this law

Municipalities cannot require commercial rezoning or fire sprinkler installation in single-family homes or duplexes as conditions for operating a no impact home based business
