The origin of the Tiny Houses
The concept of the Tiny House, literally “cute little house”, was born in the United States following the real estate crisis of 2008, allowing you to become a homeowner at a lower cost and take your little home anywhere.
Less polluting and more robust than motorhomes, this small house on wheels will develop strongly over the last 10 years thanks to the rise of a more ecological and anti-materialistic lifestyle.
Recognized for its qualities in terms of mobility, solidity and economy, the Tiny House is now aimed at a wider audience.
Fully customizable it is the ideal solution for different needs: minimalist housing, additional room, professional office, itinerant trade, camping accommodation offer, etc …

The
ALUR
law of February 2014 specifies the status of alternative housing. Article
L 121-1 of the Urban Planning Code has therefore
been amended by this law to determine the characteristics of mobile or removable housing and their site. Thus, since the implementation of the ALUR law,a private individual wishing to install an alternative housing on a building plot or not must :
- Justify a development permit or a
prior declaration
(unless the floor exceeds 20m2: you will then need a building permit). - Have a land meeting the same requirements as those imposed on conventional housing: public distribution networks of water and electricity and network of sanitation..
- Must be located in a buildable zone, whose capacity is limited and defined by the local urban plan.
- The dwelling must also be dismountable or movable, as well as all outdoor facilities and equipment.
- Be subject to an impact study environmental if you do not connect it to the public network (e.g. mobile septic tank or dry toilet).
- Be occupied as primary habitat, so at a minimum 8 months per year.
- Do not have a foundation and be autonomous.
[/dipl_faq_page_schema_item][dipl_faq_page_schema_item faq_question=”What are the regulations for a tiny house?” _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” question_heading_level=”h3″ global_colors_info=”{}”]
A “mobile home” is an inhabitable land vehicle that is permanently technically capable of moving independently or being moved by traction, and which is not prohibited from circulation by the highway code (a mobile home, a caravan, a tiny house on wheels).
This type of housing is not subject to local taxes or housing tax.
However, if you use it as your principal residence, you will have to pay an annual tax of 150 euros (or 100 euros if it is more than 10 years old, and except in the case of exemption).
A “light leisure accommodation” corresponds to a mobile home (which is an exceptional convoy on the road), a chalet or a tree house. For this type of dwelling, you only have to pay property tax if the dwelling is set on a concrete base and is not normally intended to be moved. This type of dwelling also remains subject to the housing tax.
