                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

HOME-BASED BUSINESSES PERMITTED; COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL ORDINANCES (§ 55.1-1821)

A. Except to the extent that the declaration provides otherwise, no association
shall prohibit any lot owner from operating a home-based business within his
personal residence. The association may, however, establish (i) reasonable
restrictions as to the time, place, and manner of the operation of a home-based
business and (ii) reasonable restrictions as to the size, place, duration, and
manner of the placement or display of any signs on the owner&#8217;s lot related
to such home-based business. Any home-based business shall comply with all
applicable local ordinances.

B. If a development is located in a locality that classifies home-based child
care services as an accessory or ancillary residential use under the
locality&#8217;s zoning ordinance, the provision of home-based child care
services in a personal residence shall be deemed a residential use unless
expressly (i) prohibited or restricted by the declaration or (ii) restricted by
the association&#8217;s bylaws or rules as provided in subsection A.
