What this form is
Use this checklist when applying through OpenGov for a home daycare permit in Mountain Home. Applicants who are lessees or renters must provide a notarized letter from the property owner allowing the requested home daycare, along with a site plan. A conditional use permit is required before operating a group daycare facility serving 7 to 12 children or a daycare center serving 13 or more children.
Who needs it
