Tiny home rules in League City, TX — 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.
League City's Unified Development Code does not include a tiny home or ADU-specific zoning classification. Accessory structures must comply with setback, height, and lot coverage requirements. Standalone dwelling units beyond the primary residence require specific zoning approval.
The League City UDC (Chapter 125) does not authorize accessory dwelling units (ADUs) or tiny homes as separate dwelling units in single-family residential zones. Accessory buildings for storage or non-habitation purposes require building permits under Chapter 22. The minimum front building setback is 10 feet in all cases. STR permits are available for renting accessory buildings, but only under the STR ordinance framework.
Building without a permit: violation of Chapter 22-31. Using an accessory structure as a dwelling without zoning approval is a zoning violation under Chapter 125.
