A home-based business is excellent opportunity for rural homeowners to use their property for an income-producing enterprise.
However, prospective business operators should know that virtually all business uses conducted from residential properties in Scott County’s eleven townships (or unincorporated area) will require some form of a use permit issued by Scott County. There are some standards and limitations in place to ensure that the business uses and other surrounding residential uses remain compatible with each other.
