Frequently Asked Questions About Tiny Home Living

Are tiny homes legal where I live?
It depends on whether the home is on wheels or on a foundation. Homes on wheels are usually titled and registered like RVs; homes on a foundation fall under the local residential building code and zoning, including any ADU rules. Check with your county or city planning office before you buy.
What is the difference between a tiny home, container home, skoolie, and van conversion?
Tiny homes are purpose-built small houses. Container homes use shipping containers as the structural shell. Skoolies are converted school buses. Van conversions turn cargo vans such as the Sprinter, Transit or ProMaster into living space.
Can I finance a tiny home?
Often, yes. Homes on wheels may qualify for RV loans; other options include personal loans and chattel loans. See /financing for more.
