Tarpon Springs does not maintain a dedicated tiny-home ordinance. Permanent tiny homes are treated as single-family dwellings and must comply with the Florida Building Code, minimum living-area requirements set in the applicable zoning district under Article II of Appendix A, and accessory dwelling provisions if subordinate to a primary residence. Tiny homes on wheels are classified as recreational vehicles and may not be used as permanent dwellings outside of approved RV parks or mobile home districts. Setbacks, lot coverage, and utility connections apply. The city's SmartCode form-based districts may offer additional pathways for small cottage and infill dwelling forms.
Living in a tiny home on wheels outside an approved RV or mobile home park results in code enforcement action, removal orders, and potential daily fines.
