Tiny home rules in Boynton Beach, FL — covering tiny houses on wheels (THOWs), park model RVs, and tiny home on foundation builds — determine where they are legal and how they get permitted.
Tiny homes on fixed foundations are allowed in Boynton Beach if they meet the Florida Building Code and zoning minimum dwelling size (typically 750 sq ft in single-family districts). Tiny homes on wheels are regulated as RVs and cannot be used as primary residences.
FL Building Code Appendix Q allows homes under 400 sq ft with relaxed ceiling and stair standards, but local zoning minimums still control. Boynton Beach R-1 and R-1-A require 1,200 sq ft minimum dwellings; R-1-AA requires 1,600 sq ft. Tiny home communities are not currently a permitted use; a PUD rezoning would be required. THOWs (tiny homes on wheels) fall under FL §320 RV rules and can only be parked in RV parks or on residential property temporarily (under 30 days). Cottage housing under Live Local Act (SB 102, 2023) may create future pathways but has not been adopted locally.
Living full-time in a THOW: $250 per day nuisance citation plus order to vacate. Unpermitted tiny home build: stop work plus demolition order if below zoning minimum.
