Читать книгу The Tiny House Handbook - Charlie Wing - Страница 16

Why not build a tiny home the conventional way on a permanent foundation? In the past half century, with the emphasis on bigger is better, most communities imposed minimum size requirements in their zoning. This had little to do with health or safety but everything to do with maintaining property values and the real estate tax base.

Well over ninety percent of US communities base their building standards on the International Residential Code (IRC). With the formal adoption in 2018 of IRC Appendix Q, dealing with homes 400 square feet in area or less, there are now few if any logical reasons to outlaw tiny homes. Imposing a size limit may not be against the law, but it is increasingly difficult to defend.
