Tiny home rules in Coweta County, GA — 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.
A tiny home's status in Coweta County turns on its foundation. On a permanent foundation it is a dwelling under the state building code; on wheels it is a titled RV that zoning does not treat as a permanent home.
A tiny house on a permanent foundation is a dwelling in unincorporated Coweta County and must meet Georgia's State Minimum Standard One- and Two-Family Dwelling Code for egress, ceiling height, and smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, with a building permit before work begins. Whether it can sit as a second unit is decided by the Zoning and Development Ordinance, since Georgia has no statewide ADU mandate. A tiny house on wheels is registered and titled as a recreational vehicle, not a permanent dwelling, and county zoning restricts living in an RV full time on a residential lot.
Placing a foundation-built tiny home without a permit is unlawful work. Living full time in a titled RV or travel trailer parked on a residential lot conflicts with the Zoning and Development Ordinance and draws enforcement.
