Advisory Note for Home-Based Businesses During the COVID-19 Period

Please observe the Safe Management Measures, such as the number of visitors entering a household and the use of TraceTogether-only SafeEntry for contact tracing, as shown in the advisories on the Ministry of Health's website.

Home Office Scheme

The Home Office Scheme allows homeowners, tenants or occupants of private residential property or HDB flats to operate small-scale offices in their homes, subject to the prevailing conditions of use.

You can use your private residential property or HDB flat to run the administrative functions of a business and hire up to two non-resident employees.

Your property must remain as a place of residence at all times. The business activities must be confined within the residential premises and should not cause disamenities to your neighbours.

Anyone who is the owner, tenant or any authorised occupant of a private residential property and wishes to operate a Home Office (HO) can register with URA. For HO in HDB flats, the owner, tenant or any authorised occupant of the HDB flat can register with HDB.

If you are not the owner, you must obtain written consent from the owner before you register for the HO use.

Validity of the Home Office Licence

The one-time permit is valid for the duration of your home office business. It may be revoked if conditions are breached.
