Zoning laws technically prohibit the carrying out of a business in a residentially classified neighborhood. Condo CC&R's do the same. No one complains unless it is obvious that you are carrying out a business, such as a large number of strange vehicles stopping in front of your house for an hour or two. The police will generally ignore the situation if the peace is not being distrubed [no honking of horns]. You probably need to have a license to do message work.

If you are engaged in prostitution--the providing of sexual stimulation for money--then your activity is criminal. If you advertise on a site where many of the ads appear to be for prostitution you will be lumped into that group.
