Tiny home rules in Jupiter, 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.
Permanent tiny homes in Jupiter must comply with Florida Building Code and minimum dwelling-size standards in LDR Section 27 (typically 800 square feet in single-family zones). Tiny homes on wheels (THOWs) are treated as recreational vehicles and cannot be used as permanent residences.
Under FL 320.01, a THOW is an RV and may only occupy licensed RV parks. Site-built or modular tiny homes on foundations must meet FBC, wind-load, and flood-zone standards. Single-family zones generally require minimum 800 sq ft living area. Tiny homes may be easier to site in manufactured home parks or under the Live Local Act in mixed-use zoning.
