Tiny home rules in Clinton, MS — 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.
Hinds County follows 2018 IRC Appendix Q for tiny homes under 400 sq ft on foundations. Tiny homes on wheels classified as RVs and restricted to RV parks. No tiny home overlay districts.
Hinds County regulates tiny homes based on construction type. Foundation-built tiny homes follow the 2018 IRC Appendix Q (adopted by Mississippi), permitting dwellings under 400 sq ft with relaxed ceiling heights (6'8" main, 6'4" bath), loft standards, and egress requirements. Minimum dwelling size in Hinds County R-1 zones is typically 1,000 sq ft, making tiny homes impractical except through variance or in select zones. Tiny homes on wheels (THOW) are classified as RVs under MS Code §63-21-9 and restricted to licensed RV parks or campgrounds — full-time residential occupancy in an RV on private property violates county zoning. Mississippi has no state ADU statute, and Hinds County has not adopted an ADU ordinance creating a tiny home pathway. Utility connections (water, sewer or septic, electrical) require permits. The Yazoo clay soil requires engineered foundations.
Unpermitted dwellings: removal or retroactive permitting. Living in RV on residential property: zoning violation, fines $100 to $500/day. Septic violations: MSDH enforcement.
