The tiny house movement, popularized by shows like HGTV’s Tiny House Big Living, is pushing communities to reconsider existing ordinances.
Since tiny homes don’t typically meet zoning standards, they are illegal in most places across the country. But more and more cities are looking to make changes to welcome tiny houses, even tiny neighborhoods. Right now, you can find some in Florida, Texas, and Colorado.
In a market with low housing supply and soaring sales prices, tiny homes are an attractive alternative to renting or the traditional home ownership. Besides cost, the tiny house movement is spurred by simple and sustainable living.
