NAVIGATING NORTH CAROLINA’S TINY HOME REGULATIONS
In North Carolina, tiny homes built on permanent foundations are generally recognized as legal residences. However, each city or county has distinct building codes and requirements. For instance, in Wilmington and Charlotte, a tiny home must have at least 150 square feet for the first occupant and an extra 100 square feet per additional occupant.
TAX BENEFITS
PURCHASING A TINY HOME
If your tiny home is permanently affixed to a foundation, North Carolina does not levy property taxes specifically for such tiny homes. In other words, if your tiny home is on a foundation, you won’t be subject to property taxes on the tiny home itself.

FINDING A LOCATION FOR YOUR TINY HOME
If you're planning to place your tiny home on a permanent foundation, you’ll need to purchase land that allows tiny homes. Stay tuned for a list of resources and how we can assist you with this process.
LIVING IN A TINY HOME
Tiny homes need access to water, electricity, and waste disposal. This can be achieved through traditional hookups or off-grid solutions. Options for waste management include connecting to local sewage, composting toilets, or septic systems. Living in a tiny home requires clever storage solutions and minimalist living.
UNDERSTANDING LOCAL RULES
While North Carolina is generally receptive to tiny homes, it’s crucial to check local regulations. Counties that permit tiny houses include Mecklenburg, Buncombe, Guilford, Jackson, Wake, and New Hanover. Additionally, some cities and towns also recognize tiny homes, so always verify local rules before building.
LAND REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR TINY HOUSE
The land area required for a 640-square-foot house can vary based on several factors, including local regulations, zoning, and the desired layout. Ensure compliance with the specific requirements in your chosen area. Whether you’re planning to build a tiny home or a larger house, understanding these guidelines ensures a smooth and legal building process. Happy home building!
