Where can I park a tiny home?

Many people want to own their own land but this tends to be one of the more difficult options. We encourage you to contact your local zoning and building officials in the city or county that you would like to live in to see if they one, allow tiny homes on wheels and secondly if there are any square footage requirements. We also encourage you to check different forums, like on Facebook, that will have information on communities in your area. RV parks are becoming increasingly tiny home friendly. Often times it just takes a phone call to see if they will allow a tiny home.

I want a Tiny Home, where do I start?

Here is our suggestion: 1. Find a place to park. Whether it is a tiny home community, RV park, or your own land. The ordinances will vary from city to city and county to county. Make sure you know what is allowed. 2. Know your budget. Figure out a realistic budget that will allow you to build a tiny home that will fit your needs. 3. Financing. This tends to be difficult and is not a traditional mortgage. Take a look at our financing page for what we offer. 4. Visit tiny home shows, festivals, builders, and make sure to read reviews to help you pick a builder that will best fit your needs.
