FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes these different from mobile homes?
They're actually mobile. The primary issue with "mobile" homes is how much they cost to move and how cheap the build quality is. It is tow-ready and built to residential standards.
Can I put these in my backyard?
YES! In 2020 California had massive sweeping legislation change, mostly through SB-13 and AB-68, ensuring cities could not get in the way of building Accessory Dwelling Units (granny flats). Los Angeles and San Diego took it one step further by passing a Tiny Home as ADU ordinance. If anyone at a city tells you different, they are uneducated.
How are these connected to utilites?
A third party installer will handle the permitting, installation, and utility connection of your home. Tiny Homes on Wheels are connected just like an RV to park-style hookups or hard connected to your existing utilities. You do not need a second meter for any utilities.
Are these homes on a permanent foundation?
No. These are Department of Transportation registered trailers. Once parked they can be elevated by jacks and the undercarriage can be covered with skirting, however a permanent foundation is an option if desired.
How are these bought and sold?
Tiny Homes On Wheels are bought and sold just like cars. They are registered, liened, and transferred through the DMV. Our homes do not require registration with California Department of Housing and Community Development.
How are these insured?
Because these units are ANSI certified they can be insured by most major insurance companies.
Is there a warranty?
Your ADU comes with a 1 year warranty.
