My question would then be, do all home offices need to be in commercial zones? Rick Ucci ccipiano.com That's the question you need to ask your municipality. Since there are more and more people working out of their home, most cities now allow a certain amount of businesses to be run out of the home. What they will not allow is a place of business out of a home where customers come to the home, which creates traffic problems, etc., and they do not allow any kind of sign or posters advertising the presence of a business in the home. But then I've seen "piano lessons" signs on mailboxes, or a car in front of the house with a sign on the car. (like mine).

Municipal law is public information. Look for the town web site. Most towns llow certain business activities from home, and are not particularly punitive, n my experience. -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Spalding <mike.spalding1 at frontier.com> > Sent: Nov 12, 2011 11:33 AM > To: pianotech at ptg.org > Subject: Re: [pianotech] Business Definition > > One question no-one's asked is: Are you taking a home office > deduction?
