one of the main questions we get about
tiny houses is where to park them and
unfortunately tiny houses are illegal in
a lot of places
I'm whether that's because of zoning
bylaws for other rules that limit the
size of a building or that prevent
people from living in buildings that are
on wheel so if you're thinking of
building a tiny house or if you've
already built one and you're thinking
where am I going to park this where am I
going to live in it and keep watching
this video because we're going to talk
about several different options parking
your tiny house on a piece of land that
you've bought can be a really good
option but there's a few things that you
want to check out to make sure it's
legal first check with your municipality
or township to make sure that there's no
minimum building size because a lot of
places do have that and that's one thing
that makes tiny house illegal
another thing is they might not allow a
tiny house on wheels so you'll want to
find out if they have any specific
bylaws about having a house on wheels
another thing to look out for is that
some places require you to have a well
and or a septic tank if you're out in
the country
these are all things that might affect
your ability to park your tiny house on
a piece of land you own to look into it
first to look into it
basically you're going to want to look
up the bylaws or the zoning laws in your
area so to do that
most cities and towns have a website
that lists their bylaws on them so the
first thing you can do is just visit
your town's website and look up bylaws
they're really long document sometimes
they can be really boring so if you're
having trouble finding the rules that
you need you can just contact your
township office directly and ask them to
point you in the right direction
tiny houses are very similar to RV's and
campers trailers so definitely check
trailer fires RV parks and campsites and
some of them might allow long-term stays
at reasonable prices
some of these places have ruled that
specifically don't allow tiny houses for
some crazy reason so definitely check
that a time a nice thing is that most of
these places will have water hookups
electricity and maybe even internet even
if it's not currently legal to park your
tiny house in someone else's backyard
there may still be some loopholes that
could make it work for you
one of them is if there's a caregiver
provision in the bylaws
that says that anyone who's taken care
of someone who's living in their home
can live in the backyard so that might
be an option if you're going to take
care of somebody you could use that
another one is if you're only going to
be there part-time so if it's a
recreational vehicle or vacation home
you may be allowed to live in it
part-time in your backyard or in someone
else's backyard and a third option for
parking in someone's backyard even when
tiny houses may not be legal is if there
is an accessory dwelling units provision
to look into the rules and find out if
your area allows for accessory dwelling
units which is basically just a
secondary smaller house in the backyard
of another home another great resource
that we have found out about is the tiny
house community website they've got a
list of every community and every town
and city that is changing the rules
about tiny houses so you could look
there and see if there's any communities
or equal villages or areas where tiny
houses are becoming legal and maybe you
can consider moving there or at least
looking into how those places are doing
it that you could try to apply the same
thing to your area
it's a fantastic resource I was really
surprised when I found to see how many
communities and eco villages were listed
there so definitely check it out it's
only going to keep growing
the website is tiny house community com
it's also exciting that some suburbs
some neighborhoods and some eco villages
are being rezone to allow people to live
in tiny houses so you would live in your
tiny house just like you would in a
normal house in a city or a town you
would pay taxes just like everybody else
except you would be living in a tiny
house so definitely check the area that
you're interested in just to see if that
is even an option
this is also something that you can
check on tiny house community dot-com
and i'm also assuming that this is just
going to get more and more popular
finding a place to park your tiny house
may involve getting a little bit
creative and maybe bending the rules
some of the people that we've met who
are living in a tiny houses didn't want
to wait until their counter their city
legalized tiny houses some people are
just parking a tiny house in the
backyard after talking to neighbors and
sometimes the township to make sure that
it will be tolerated but it's still not
exactly legal
so there are people who are doing that
we also met one woman who put her tiny
house on pontoons and turn it into a
houseboat and so now because it's gone
on the water it doesn't really fit into
any of the building codes or zoning laws
in her area so she's able to live on a
tiny house on the water
another person that we met has their
tiny house and they don't have a piece
of land to park it on full-time so
instead they are property centers and
instead of house-sitting for somebody
they just bring their own house with
them and live in their own house but on
the property that they're taking care of
one last option that some people are
choosing is just to put their tiny house
wherever they want it even if it's not
legal and obviously we don't recommend
that because building a tiny house can
be a huge investment and you don't
really want to risk getting kicked out
of your spot and not having anywhere to
live in it if you're really passionate
about building a tiny house and living
in a tiny house you should definitely
try to see if they're the community in
your area that's already forming maybe
there are people who are already working
to change the laws or you might have to
be the pioneer who goes to your off your
township office and asked what can be
done to try and make tiny house is legal
in your area i hope you enjoyed this
