Miramar, FL Accessory Structures: Tiny Homes (2026)

Section 201, the Land Development Code's general definitions section, gives Miramar's tiny homes their ceiling: a tiny home/house means a residential structure under 600 square feet. Any residential structure at or above that threshold is treated as a standard single-family dwelling instead and falls under the ordinary floor-area and dimensional standards of the applicable zoning district rather than the tiny-house category. The floor comes from Table 402-4, Minimum Floor Areas, in Chapter 4's zoning standards: alongside minimum sizes for accessory dwelling units (300 square feet), micro-units (350 square feet), and standard one-family homes, the table lists a Tiny House minimum floor area of 300 square feet, the same floor set for accessory dwelling units.

That places every tiny home permitted in Miramar in a 300-to-599-square-foot band. 1) spelling out siting, ownership, and utility rules, the tiny-house entry in Table 402-4 is not matched by a dedicated numbered subsection elsewhere in Section 405, so a tiny home's siting and district eligibility are otherwise governed by the same principal-use and dimensional tables that apply to the underlying zoning district and lot. 2.
