Tiny house-friendly land listings to your inbox.
Shopping for tiny house land is tedious. We can help.
We email you land listings that look tiny house-friendly, and why we think so.
While many communities are finally updating their rules to accommodate tiny houses, implementation is wildly inconsistent from town to town.
It’s a complicated and frustrating experience if you’re shopping for land to site a tiny house—especially a tiny house on wheels (THOW)—due to all the red tape.
Let us do the research for you. We comb through new land listings, filter out the duds, and send you the ones that look best for tiny houses.

How We Choose
Some of the factors that determine whether a parcel is ‘Tiny House-Friendly’ or not.
Zoning
Local zoning or land use ordinances. We concisely explain each town’s RV / THOW use policy.
HOAs
Dreaded Homeowners Associations. We omit all listings that mention an HOA.
Road Access
Direct road frontage or a right-of-way. We omit landlocked properties, all listings must show road access.
Price Fairness
Asking price versus fair market value. If it seems like a good price, we’ll tell you.
Restrictions
Deed restrictions or easements that run with the land and affect its usage.
Wetlands
Jurisdictional wetlands such as bogs, swamps, and low-lying areas.
Rurality
Local population density. If the town is far more or less rural than average, we’ll tell you.
Listing Quality
Adequate photos, maps, and descriptive detail in the listing.
Utilities
Installed septic systems, sewer connections, wells, water lines, or electricity.
Scenery & Water
Scenic views, water frontage, or running water like creeks and rivers.
Flat Topography
Parcels or portions of a parcel that are generally flat for easy leveling or building.
Flood Zones
FEMA flood hazard zones or floodplains. Affects flood insurance costs.
Permits
Existing permits for wastewater, wetland crossings, building, occupancy, and more.
Driveways or Clearing
Paved or roughed-in driveways, or past tree clearing.
What about RVs, Yurts, Domes, & Alternative Dwellings?
The Home Base Herald is even better suited to those seeking RV land, and we think you’ll find it extra valuable if that’s your goal.
We’ll also flag listings where local zoning specifically codifies yurts, tents, domes, etc.
