It's perfectly legal to have a TT, 5th wheel or motor home on your property in my county. You can even hook up power, cable, water and the sewer to it. The catch, you can only legally inhabit it 21 days of every 60 days. I'm sure this is pretty much the rule statewide in non incorporated areas.

Trying this in a city? Good luck dumbass.

So, you can't park trailers on someone else's lot and live in them. People would be turning their home properties into mobile home parks. If they weren't doing it for a business, I could see a completely valid argument. But this is a business for them.

Here there is no such thing as a detached living space and all the money in the world wont get you one.  Go to a campground and pay the daily fee or fuck off.

Even if you own an empty lot here with sewer and water they wouldn't allow that shit.  If it doesn't have a concrete foundation(not a slab) its not a house period.

Shit, here in my podunk county you can live in a camper/RV on your property while a new house is being built.  But if it’s a property with a built house, there is a time limit of something like 60 or 90 days. Keeps away the rentals, etc.

Neighbor knows someone that was doing an extensive remodel that required living in the RV.  Supply chain issues caused a slow down on the project.  No one thought about the 60 or 90 day limit. Except the inspector that came to look at and sign off on the wiring job.  He threw a hissy fit and refused to sign off until they moved the RV off the property and paid some fines.  Last I heard they were now having to pay a lawyer to fight this asshole.

They're taxed as vehicles in AZ. They're on wheels, which makes them a vehicle (trailer). This applies to ALL mobile homes, park models, travel trailers, motor homes, and "tiny houses". Wheels=motor vehicle registration.

Mostly I think the “tiny house” idea is a bit ridiculous but based on the photo of her place that looks a bit compact but certainly it’s a livable space. The city should piss off. I know plenty of people who live in campers smaller than that.

It has absolutely nothing to do with what I think. My perception, however, is based off the fact of an understanding of Federal HUD code & the knowledge many states have adopted that as a mandate of building code for many reasons.

If a state has not adopted HUD standards then by all means allow people to live in sub-standard living conditions in urban & suburban areas. If they have adopted such build quality standards the shit “Tiny Homes” should not be allowed in those areas. They simply lack adequate insulation, build quality & much often time heating & cooling standard, not to mention minimum square footage to be nearly associated as a legitimate dwelling.

I honestly don't know if they were are still are a trailer park - mostly it was a mobile home park (abet the mobile homes rarely left).  That said, it is a lot easier to wait for the last minute if all you have to do is rent a truck with a trailer hitch to move.

Change the code to include that all dwellings be on a foundation, anchored, if it was moved in on axels the axels must be removed, the building must be connected to city sewer and water, if available, if not then a approved septic and well.

I can see both sides of the argument.
She’s not on section 8 that’s a plus.
If her tiny home is discreetly located behind trees or a fence and not an eyesore I could see it being ok.
I really wouldn’t want to see more than one on a property not designated as a tiny home community though.
I think there’s a camping trailer on the property across from me the owners brother “single no other people” lives in they have it located behind the house out of sight.
There’s no drug activity or other civil nuisance from them and they all work.

Problem is, once you allow one, you can't stop anyone else from doing it also. That is what communities get concerned about. No septic systems should make neighbors a wee bit concerned, especially if in a subdivision.

IJ has a post about living legally in a tiny home

https://ij.org/case-intake/living-legally-in-a-tiny-home/

Tiny homes, sometimes defined as homes under 400 ft2, offer many benefits. Some view them as a way to simplify and downsize, and others see their quick and affordable construction as a way to combat the housing crisis. The movement has grown massively in recent years—there are a tiny home trade association, a grassroots association dedicated to improving the legal environment for tiny homes, and even several TV shows on tiny homes. But the legal landscape is still adjusting, and it can be confusing to determine whether a tiny home is within reach. This article lists five factors to consider before building or buying a tiny home, including several promising locations to consider.
View Quote

--
It covers zoning, building codes, wheels or no wheels, some locations where tiny homes are welcomed, permits.  There are legal ways to do a tiny home and illegal ways to do them.  If they're always illegal with no valid government purpose, then that gets into constitutional issues.  IJ will force the city to allow tiny homes in some fashion, bet on it.

If true, that does change things a bit. I have far more sympathy for an Idahoan trying to find a place to live than I do for some Californian choosing to move here in a cheap trailer and destroying the neighborhood property values.

Am I being inconsistent and discriminating? Yes. And that's ok.

But if she had a tent on a city street no code enforcment officer would care.  Fucking clown world.


They would in Meridian Idaho.
We are starting to get homeless infestations here, so that could explain the crackdown on this sort of thing. People in Idaho really don't want their neighborhoods to start looking like CA/OR/WA with homeless camps everywhere.

I can see both sides of the argument.
She’s not on section 8 that’s a plus.
If her tiny home is discreetly located behind trees or a fence and not an eyesore I could see it being ok.
I really wouldn’t want to see more than one on a property not designated as a tiny home community though.
I think there’s a camping trailer on the property across from me the owners brother “single no other people” lives in they have it located behind the house out of sight.
There’s no drug activity or other civil nuisance from them and they all work.

My son was renting back yard space from his friend for $400 a month to live in his back yard in a camper.  This was near St. George.  He would have to drain his black water into a tank and drive up to the Pilot gas station where they had an RV dump site. Did this for about 18 months.  Old ass camper trailer started falling apart due to age.  1989 model.  All the plastic parts were just brittle with age.  Roof started leaking and he was done with it. We gave the camper to the friend.
Last I heard he was going to use the chassis for a car trailer.

What's stopping her from buying a small postage stamp sized piece of dirt to park the thing on?

Probably would have to connect to sewer, water, and electric and meet the local building codes.

Meh, wastewater treatment plants give away composted shit every day for people to put on the ground for there gardens.
Hugh trucks also haul it away for compost to sell in bags to the public at lowes and home depot. Farmers also spread it on there fields.
So composted human waste isn't the boogeyman that you think is!

The key word is "treated".  Anyone with an indoor cat knows that composting toilets, like (removed CoC) is full of shit.  I don't think treated human waste is a bogyman.  I worked in the Camilla GA sewage treatment plant, crawling around on my hand's and knees pulling weeds out of the treated shit, so we could sell it to farmers.  

Interesting fact for the day: Tomato seeds pass through the human digestive system and sewage treatment plant intact and sprout readily in hot humid conditions.

We have some of that here as well.  Caravans of campers roam around and squat on back streets until they get told to move.  No sewer hook up so some park over the  storm water runoff drain.  They've totally overwhelmed some of the parks here with run down motor homes, campers, and tents.  They get chased away every couple of months but start tricking back in later.
