Tiny home rules in Pickerington, OH — 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.
Tiny homes on permanent foundations in Pickerington must meet minimum dwelling size in the applicable zoning district — typically 1,200 square feet in R-1 and 1,000 square feet in R-2. Tiny homes on wheels (THOWs) are classified as RVs and cannot be used as permanent dwellings.
Pickerington Zoning Code Chapter 1143 sets minimum dwelling size for single-family homes. Most tiny homes under 400 sq ft do not meet this standard and are not allowed as primary residences. Site-built tiny homes meeting the minimum square footage must comply with Ohio Residential Code. THOWs may be parked temporarily but not occupied — Codified Ordinances prohibit RV occupancy as dwellings in residential zones. Manufactured home communities offer the only viable path.
