SF 1767 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Home-based businesses in residential dwellings permission

This bill allows homeowners in Minnesota to operate small "no-impact" home-based businesses from their residences without requiring municipal permits or approvals. It defines "no-impact" businesses as those with minimal on-site activity (no extra parking, traffic, or street visibility), operating within residential occupancy limits. Municipalities cannot demand rezoning, fire sprinklers, or permits for these businesses but may enforce limited health/safety rules. The law directly affects homeowners running small services or sales from home and local governments managing zoning regulations.
