Can I Build a Tiny Home in Tennessee?

Yes, you can build a tiny home in Tennessee, however each county has different regulations and zoning laws that you need to be aware of before building. First thing we need to discuss is there are tiny homes with a foundation and tiny homes on wheels (THOW), another name is Park Model RV. Tiny homes with a foundation have more regulations since this is considered a permanent dwelling. Tennessee Residential Code, is based on the International Residential Code (IRC), including the Appendix Q. The IRC outlines the standard design and construction of one and two-story family dwellings. Appendix Q applies to homes 400 square feet or smaller, relaxing spatial requirements. For tiny homes on wheels the IRC does not apply, because they are classified as recreational vehicles (RV). These would be subject to RV laws and regulations.

Tiny homes on wheels, also known as Park Model RVs, are widely accepted at the same locations as RVs. Park models can easily be set up on your property, campground, retirement community, or a vacation home by the lake. If you’re wanting more information on Park Models read our article on Park Models.

Trailhead tiny homes with a foundation are all larger than 400 square feet meaning Appendix Q does not apply to them. While Appendix Q makes tiny homes under 400 sq ft easier to build, because Trailhead tiny homes are larger, they do not need to worry about that. Trailhead tiny homes fully comply with Tennessee Residential Code, ensuring, permitting, durability, and safety across the state. However, local building and zoning regulations may vary from the state. Check your local area to make sure your tiny home complies.

What is a Modular Home

You may have noticed we used the word modular a few times. Let’s clarify what a Modular home is. A Modular home is built in a factory setting, ensuring consistent use of materials and quality control. After production, the Modular home is transported to the home site and assembled on a permanent foundation. All Trailhead Modular homes are built on a foundation and are considered permanent dwellings. Every Modular tiny home Trailhead builds is fully engineered to comply with Tennessee building codes.

Park Model vs Modular Home vs Tiny Home

What is a Park Model RV and how does it differ from a tiny home? I’ll give you a brief description, but here is an article if you want more details. People often use these terms interchangeably, but technically they are not the same thing. The term “tiny home” is not a specific type of home or set of regulations, but is often simply used to refer to the growing trend of minimal living in small homes. Trailhead Park Models are our take on tiny homes on wheels which are built on a trailer chassis and are technically classified as Recreational Vehicles (RVs). This means they are subject to the same standards and regulations as a traditional RV, and are built to the ANSI A119.5 code standard. Trailhead Modular Homes, on the other hand, are built in a factory before being fully assembled on-site and are considered permanent dwellings, no different than a traditional stick-built home. This means just like any other house, Modular Homes are built to Tennessee building codes which are based on the IRC. A common definition of the term “tiny home” is any dwelling 400 square feet or smaller.

Tennessee: Park Model RV Homes

• Definition: Park models are built on a chassis with wheels, putting them under the classification of RVs. They are built to the ANSI A119.5 code regulations to meet RV standards. Trailhead park models are fully engineered from floor to roof to ensure the highest quality and safety. Once the park model is built it will receive a VIN number, like any other vehicle.
   
• Regulations: Because its classification is RV, it follows the same laws as RVs. In Tennessee park models are prohibited to be a permanent dwelling. Park models are typically allowed in the same campgrounds, or RV parks that a regular RV is allowed.
   
• Mobility: Because park models are built on a chassis, they can be towed from location to location. However, they are not as mobile as a regular RV. These are more semi-permanent.

Tennessee: Permanent Tiny Homes

• Definition: Tiny homes built on a fixed foundation are considered permanent residence and must comply with local building codes.
   
• Regulations: Tiny homes in Tennessee must comply with the IRC, including the Appendix Q for those 400 sq ft or less. However, local building codes, laws, and zoning might differ slightly.

Which Tennessee Counties Allow Tiny Homes?

Yes, every county in Tennessee allows the construction of tiny homes. However, some counties may have different local regulations and building codes from the state. Tiny homes built on a foundation comply with the Tennessee Residential Code (TRC) which has implemented the International Residential Code (IRC), including the Appendix Q. The IRC gives guidance for construction of one and two-story homes 400 sq ft and larger. The Appendix Q relaxes spatial requirements for homes 400 sq ft or less to meet building codes. This does not change the construction quality or safety regulations. Counties are not required to implement the IRC. It’s important to check your county’s zoning and building regulations to make sure your tiny home stays compliant with local building codes.

Park Model RVs or tiny homes on wheels (THOWs), are classified as recreational vehicles (RVs). They do not need to comply with state TRC or local building codes. Trailhead Park Models are built to meet or exceed the RV regulations ANSI A119.5 code. Because these are classified as RVs, they can typically be placed in the same location as RVs such as campgrounds, retirement communities, or RV parks. To ensure compliance, contact local authority and the location you’d like to use.

Can I live in a tiny home in Tennessee?

Yes, most areas in Tennessee allow Modular tiny homes as permanent dwellings. Tennessee has adopted the International Residential Code (IRC), which Trailhead Modular homes are built in accordance with. This means Modular tiny homes will typically be allowed anywhere a traditional home would be. Some areas have additional zoning or permitting laws, so it is recommended you contact your local county or municipality officials.

Park Models, or tiny homes on wheels (THOWs), on the other hand, are considered Recreational Vehicles (RVs), and do not fall under IRC regulations. Park model RVs will usually be allowed in designated RV areas such as campgrounds, or RV parks. Some areas may allow permanent application on private property, while others may restrict use to temporary stays in designated locations. Contact your local officials for more information on zoning and permitting laws as well as other possible requirements.

Can I use a Tiny Home as an ADU in Tennessee?

Yes, Modular tiny homes may be implemented as accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in some areas in Tennessee depending on local regulations. Trailhead Modular tiny homes are built according to International Residential Code (IRC) standards and will typically be viable in any area where a standard-built house would be allowed as an ADU. Local laws and regulations may apply, so it is best to contact local officials for more information.

Trailhead Park Models, or tiny homes on wheels (THOWs), may be used as ADUs in Tennessee, depending on local zoning and building codes. Since Park Models are classified as RVs, they are not built according to the IRC like a traditional house or Modular tiny home. Some areas may allow Park Models as ADUs, but these units will need to comply with local requirements, and some local regulations may restrict Park Model RVs to temporary use. Check your local ADU regulations for more information on the viability of a park model RV as an ADU.

Do I need a permit for a Tiny Home in Tennessee?

Yes, a permit is typically required for a tiny home in Tennessee, but specific requirements will depend on the type of home and where you place it. Tiny homes on a permanent foundation are regulated in Tennessee according to the International Residential Code (IRC), but additional local zoning and building codes may apply. A permit is typically required before construction or installation to ensure the safety of your new home, although some counties or municipalities may not require permits. It is recommended you contact local officials for more permitting information.

Park Models, or tiny homes on wheels (THOWs), are considered Recreational Vehicles (RVs), and a permit may not be required for use in designated RV Parks or campgrounds. However, if you plan to place a Park Model on private property as a semi-permanent solution, a permit may be required according to local regulations. Always contact your local officials first, as zoning and building specifications vary across counties and municipalities in Tennessee.
