How many of you work from your home? I have been offered a position with a company to do sales. I would be doing the sales from my home. From what I understand talking to the owner, perhaps 95% of the work he does is via fax and email. Rarely does anyone come by his place of business (which happens to be the lower level of his house). I called the city I live in to inquire about what might be required to work from my home. They emailed a bunch of paperwork to me. The email is titled "Variance of Use Packet". It looks to me to be a request for a zoning variance. Isn't that a bit extreme? My wife was a realtor for a few years when the economy was better. She operated out of the house as did the majority of the other realtors. I don't recall anyone needing some variance of zoning. Any input would be appreciated.
