Where this plan works

This plan is designed for a permanent foundation (concrete piers or slab), so it is reviewed like any other small house. Where local rules allow units of this size, it can also serve as an ADU or backyard cottage. Check tiny house zoning rules and minimum dwelling sizes in your county before you build.
