Tiny home rules in Senoia, 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.
Georgia incorporates IRC Appendix Q tiny house provisions through its statewide minimum standard codes, providing uniform construction rules for dwellings under 400 square feet.
Georgia's Department of Community Affairs adopts the International Residential Code with state amendments, including Appendix Q for tiny houses 400 square feet or less. Appendix Q modifies ceiling height, loft, ladder, and emergency egress requirements to accommodate small dwellings. Local zoning still controls minimum lot size, setbacks, and whether tiny homes are permitted as primary or accessory dwellings, so building feasibility depends on both state code and local zoning.
Construction without permits or failure to meet Appendix Q egress and structural standards results in stop-work orders, denial of certificate of occupancy, and corrective construction costs.
