As we discussed in a previous blog, one of the major challenges of living in a tiny home is finding where exactly to live.

To own a tiny home, you must learn about the zoning laws and building codes regulating the land on which you plan to keep your tiny home. Most areas require a certain minimum square footage for new-construction homes.

In fact, “There are only a handful of cities across the country that directly address tiny houses,” says the national coordinator for the Tiny House Association, Alexis Stephens.
