Welcome to the Tiny Homes and Tiny Houses Information Center
Tiny Homes are constructed to the adopted codes and standards amended in the Administrative Rules. These homes require plans to be submitted to the DOH for approval prior to the construction of the units. Tiny Homes do take into consideration the local geographical and climatic conditions of the site location they are installed, but do not meet the same adopted codes amended and approved by the local jurisdiction. Tiny Homes are not considered Tiny Houses nor are they considered to be RV Park models. Tiny Homes are approved for long-term living just like modulars, HUD code homes, and Mobile homes. The biggest differences between a Tiny Home and a Tiny House is that they have a permanent chassis, and can be placed on a permanent or temporary foundation system.
Jurisdictions without Building Departments
In Colorado, over 300 areas have governing bodies, but not all have active building departments. The Department of Housing (DOH) oversees construction, focusing on foundation systems for Factory built homes and HUD homes in areas without building departments.
