Running Business From Home

Summary

Operating a business from a residential property in Oklahoma requires adherence to local zoning laws and ordinances. Without a rental agreement, you have flexibility, but ensure the business activities dont violate local rules or create nuisances. Receiving business mail at a residential address might breach local ordinances, leading to fines or tickets. Check local zoning laws and homeowner association rules to avoid issues. Consider consulting a local attorney for guidance.

Hey! Since there isn't a rental agreement or any written terms, you have more flexibility. In Oklahoma, as long as the business activities don't violate local zoning laws or your homeowner association rules, and it's not creating a nuisance, it should be fine.
Are you concerned about any specific issues, like noise, traffic, or liability?
No, they just did it because he gets his mail here and they wrote me a ticket for it
It sounds like the ticket you received might be related to zoning or local ordinance violations. Here are some general points to consider:
- Zoning Laws: Check if local zoning laws in your area allow for business activities from a residential property.
- Local Ordinances: Sometimes, local laws might restrict receiving business-related mail at a residential address.
