
Clarification




You may conduct a lawful business “at home” by computer,
mail or telephone if customers, clients, patients or other
business associates do not come to the home for business
purposes. Any exceptions, such as “Home Child Care Service”
must be pre-approved by JBLM and the Director of Morale,
Welfare and Recreation (DMWR).
Any lawful business that is allowed as stated above must be
conducted in accordance with applicable laws.
Lewis-McChord Communities will require proof of all required
registrations, insurance and permits to be submitted once
approval is given by your Community Office but before any
business is conducted.
Determination of an acceptable business is at management’s
sole discretion.
