"Licensing" a small business
| 
Apr 14 01:05 UTC 2006 |
I read in the newspaper yesterday that the village I live in
has decided to refuse license applications from any business
that's run from a home. Until I read that, it had not
occurred to me that any kind of license might be needed from
the village. I can see registration with the state and
perhaps the county if needed, but what gives a village the
authority to require a businesses to be licensed? Does this
apply to all types of business? Is this common in the U.S?

My neighbor the psychiatrist moved to a different house because there is a
parking requirement in order to run a home business with customers/clients.

Another house in the same community, or another place to
escape a permit-happy city/town/village?

Same town, but with a parking lot attached to the new house. My landlord had
to stop renting out one apartment because they insisted it have parking (in
a house that used to have three apartments). His response was to sell the
house - now there are three less affordable apartments. There is of course
no requirement that housing have sidewalks or transportation.
