11 Ways to Decide if Tiny House Living is for You
10) Legality
A major concern for joining the tiny house movement is the legality of your small home. In many areas, zoning laws prevent the legal building of these homes. For instance, there may be a size minimum that the tiny house of your dreams does not meet. Therefore, you will have to put in effort to search out somewhere it is allowed. There are some tiny house communities that already exist, and joining one of these is a way to make it work. Alternatively, you can try “temporary urbanism” by living on otherwise non-functional land. If the government decides to build up the area, however, you will need to move. You can also try to get your government officials to change undesirable zoning laws, but this will take time. If you are set on a tiny house, you are better off finding an area where it is permitted.
