In Montreal, if you have an office ( to earn a living ) at home, you need to apply for an " occupancy permit " . The city limits the usage to no more then 33% of the habitable space.
They charge a one-time fee . You must post the permit in your office.
This permit not given for all type of business, but those that will not create excess traffic , noise, or risk .
If you want to have a doctor's cabiner, forget it ...
I am pretty sure that this is in force in quite a majority of cities ....
But again, you are smart, so this must all be bs ..... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

There isn't a thing like that in the city of winnipeg bylaw directory. Maybe you can do a search of your city of Montreal site and show me exactly where there's a bylaw about the city regulating home-based business. Maybe it's a Quebec thing.
The only thing I've ever seen from any level of government concerning mine or anyone's home-based business is an article in the newspaper a few years ago where they were thinking of making everyone register. I've never heard another thing about it since, and my tax&investment guy hasn't urged me to take any special steps. I know tons of people who work out of their homes all over the place who just run their businesses, pay their taxes, and get no grief about it.
Again, if there is a law governing earning a living from one's home computer I am unaware of it. I'd like to see it, if you can find something that is. |
