It is possible to put a small house on land you own in Florida. However, it`s not legal in all places – and it`s up to you to know if it`s legal before planting one on your property. Zoning and land use regulations vary greatly from place to place, so they can be legal on your land, but not on your neighboring country (and vice versa). Buying land for your new little home isn`t as easy as you might think. Many people believe that they can buy any land and knock over a new small house. However, this is not the case. What is legal on one piece of land may not be legal on another. Other small landowners say they would like to ask for changes to related laws.

Mark Cox, 32, lived on Murtha`s property before moving nearby to rent his small house as an Airbnb. Before that, he traveled the country in his portable home and spent time on the road at a llama farm in Tennessee and in the mountains of North Carolina. Florida is becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of tiny houses. “If you`re cool and you want to live in nature, minimalist, and you have a small house and you love me and you love the property, then it works,” Murtha said. “All the people who lived here, for better or for worse, became my closest friends.” Orlando is one of the most famous places in Florida. This area is home to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld and more and is a resort.

Tiny Homes on Wheels or THOW must be registered with the Florida DMV and be road-friendly. The good news is that you`ll never run out of options for placing your little home in Florida.
