- Home occupation permit required:
- Varies
- Details:
- Camden County does not appear to have county-wide zoning. Camdenton (county seat) and Lake Ozark/Osage Beach (tourist/resort communities) may require home occupation permits under city or township zoning. No county-specific cottage food overlay identified. Producers in resort areas should check local rules carefully.
- Home kitchen:
- Missouri state law (§196.298) permits home kitchen production of nonperishable baked goods, canned jams and jellies, and dried herbs and herb mixes. Direct-to-consumer sales only (including online/in-state shipping as of 2022 amendment). State law expressly prohibits local health departments from regulating cottage food production (§196.298(3)(1)). No sales cap, no registration, no food handler cert required.
