Minnesota SF1767 permits home-based businesses in residential dwellings, exempting them from certain municipal regulations.

Minnesota SF1767, known as the Home-Based Business Fairness Act, allows the use of residential dwellings for home-based businesses. This use is permitted unless restricted by deed, covenant, or community bylaws. The bill prohibits municipalities from requiring permits, licenses, or other approvals for no-impact home-based businesses, defined as those with limited on-site employees and clients, lawful sales, and minimal traffic impact. Municipalities can still regulate such businesses for public health and safety, ensuring they comply with state and federal laws and pay taxes.
