Tool	Issues Addressed	Considerations	Examples
Home Business Regulations Protect residential neighborhoods from use of dwellings for business purposes that would detract from the peace and quiet of the neighborhood.	Not enough neighborhood centers to serve adjacent neighborhoods	Local governments do not necessarily need to have a business registration process to enforce home business uses. Some communities choose not to require business licenses, and they save significant administrative costs but possibly also forego revenue, however, some communities with zoning require annual renewal of home business licenses and charge an annual fee for the home occupation permit. Some home occupation ordinances prohibit use of an accessory building in connection with a home business use.	Implementation Examples Outside Georgia
