Welcome back to the Trailer Made Podcast, where we break down key topics for tiny home builders and dreamers. Today’s episode focuses on tiny house regulations the rules and codes that determine where and how your tiny home can legally exist. Tiny house regulations vary widely by location. If your tiny home is built on wheels known as a Tiny House On Wheels (THOW) it often must meet ANSI A119.5 or NFPA 1192 safety standards and may be treated like an RV or park model, which affects where you can live or park it. For tiny homes set on private land, zoning laws and local building codes decide if your structure qualifies as a dwelling, an accessory unit, or something else entirely, impacting full-time residency and utility hookups. Understanding these regulations early helps you avoid costly delays or legal issues. From setbacks to utility requirements and building standards, the rules shape your tiny home journey and ensure your space is safe, compliant, and ready for long-term living. Thanks for tuning in! Stay informed, and live tiny responsibly.
