Our tiny homes are ideal for those embracing a minimalist lifestyle or looking to downsize. These transportable homes on wheels are registered as caravans and are designed to be easily movable with soft connections. Typically, they do not require local council consent. However, we recommend consulting with your local council to understand any specific building consent or resource consent requirements for your site.
If your tiny house meets the definition of a vehicle or motor vehicle, the key question is whether it is immovable and occupied on a permanent or long-term basis. The critical word here is “and.” Essentially, if your tiny house on wheels is easily movable, it would NOT be classified as a building, regardless of whether you live in it permanently or temporarily. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure your tiny house remains movable at all times. It’s easy to assume that a tiny house on wheels is automatically considered movable, but government and council regulations can be more complicated. Several factors could lead a council inspector to determine that your tiny house on wheels is not easily movable. To keep your tiny house as movable as possible, avoid permanently connecting it to onsite services such as water, wastewater, or electricity. If you do connect to these services, make sure they can be easily disconnected.
