Finally got the city to approve my home office as a proper business address
Wasted $150 on a 'virtual office' service for six months before realizing I could just file a simple zoning form. Anyone else navigate this paperwork maze?

Classic city hall move. That zoning form is always buried somewhere.

Tell me about it. I spent a year paying for a P.O. box because I thought my neighborhood was zoned residential only. Turns out there was a tiny home occupation permit I could have filed online for like thirty bucks. The city website makes it impossible to find, you have to know the exact name of the form.

Yeah the "exact name of the form" thing is so real. I mean, I had to call the planning desk and just ask "what's the form called for doing freelance work from home?" The guy said "oh, that's the HO-7A." You'd never guess that from the website. It's all under "zoning compliance applications" but you have to scroll past like fifty other permits.
