A mobile tiny home can be parked on your own property (if allowed by local ordinances, zoning codes, and/or Home Owners’ Association) or at friend’s or relative’s property.  If you are traveling with your tiny home, you can stay at RV Trailer parks as our Nook Tiny Homes are built to RVIA standards.  This is especially beneficial if you have a kitchen and/or full bathroom as you can hook up to the RV park’s water and septic systems.

As tiny homes become more prevalent in communities, many cities and local governments are evolving zoning ordinances to account for this type of alternative housing.  To find out if your community allows tiny homes check with your local planning department.

If you want to build a tiny house on wheels, you might tell the local planning department you’re considering building a house on a flatbed trailer that you hope to live in – and let them know where.  Then ask if there are any allowances for this in your community.  For instance, would your community permit an RV or an ADU (accessory dwelling unit, a.k.a. “granny unit”) on your property and is it legal to use it as a dwelling?  Every community has different zoning codes and ordinance so it pays to do solid research before embarking on your project.
