Tiny home rules in Brandon, 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 foundations in Hillsborough County must meet the Florida Building Code and minimum dwelling size in the Land Development Code, generally 600 square feet minimum in most RSC districts. Park-model RVs are restricted to licensed RV parks. Movable tiny homes are not permitted as primary residences on standard lots.
Hillsborough County Land Development Code Part 6 sets minimum dwelling sizes that vary by district, typically 600 to 750 square feet. Tiny homes meeting this minimum, built to the Florida Building Code, and connected to approved water and sewer or septic are allowed on single-family lots. Tiny houses on wheels are classified as RVs under FL 320.01 and may only be occupied long-term in licensed RV parks. Agricultural zoning allows greater flexibility for farm-related housing.
Undersized tiny home as dwelling: certificate of occupancy denial. Occupied THOW outside RV park: zoning citation up to 500 dollars and eviction order.
