Houston County approves five special-exception home-businesses, tables two

Aug 5, 2025

The Board approved Special Exceptions for five applicants (car rental, HVAC, custom wood pictures, mobile-home hardship, daycare) and tabled two (food truck, residential cleaning). County Attorney Tom Hall warned that private neighborhood covenants may still restrict home businesses.
