In 2022, the CO General Assembly passed House Bill 2022-1242 to regulate the manufacture, sale, and installation of “tiny homes” in Colorado. Here are some important Links to review with regards to this new Colorado state Bill.
As of July 1, 2023, the State of Colorado defines a “Tiny Home” as a structure that:
* Is permanently constructed on a vehicle chassis
* Is designed for long-term residency
* Includes electrical, mechanical, or plumbing services that are fabricated, formed, or assembled at a location other than the site of the completed home
* Is not self-propelled
* Has square footage of 400 square feet or less
* Has a metal plate insignia installed under the kitchen sink by the Division of Housing

Great topic and we're really looking forward to being able to live in a tiny home someday without having to also fight the fight--we're lazy, we just want the "happily ever after" part! 🙂(Though to all you folks fighting the fight: Thank you!! We really appreciate that you are paving the road for the rest of us.)

Ugh. I am so sick of hearing about the obstacles that we tiny home lovers face. 1) We are not allowed to live in THOW full-time, but yet people who have tiny house Air B&B's can have people in their houses 365 days a year. Makes no sense. 2) Concern for tiny homes being hooked up to sewer system. More and more people are living in vans and cars. I have seen You Tube videos in which the people admit that they let their sewage drain freely from their vehicles. 3) Zoning excuses are BS. The excuse of overwhelming the utilities is ridiculous. I live somewhere (probably similar to other places) where apartment buildings are being built everytime I turn around. Apartment buildings house A LOT more people than a tiny home in a backyard here and there. 4) In my opinion, tiny homes are just a new version of mobile homes. We should be able to build tiny home parks/villages, hook up to utilities, etc. We should be allowed, in every way, as mobile homes are; more so really. Hybrid mobile home-adu. Codes and zoning need to face the realities of our changed society of low-incomes, no retirement incomes, high rents, no chances for owning a conventional home, needs for caring for aging family and housing young people for a lot longer than we used to. I hope you pass my thoughts on to other advocates.

Great information! Summary:
The video is a discussion between Lindsay Wood from Experience Tiny Homes and Tracy Boyle from Tiny Building Experts about the new laws in Colorado that affect tiny homes. Here are the main takeaways:
* New Laws in Colorado: Colorado has recently passed laws that are more favorable to tiny homes. These laws are specifically for tiny homes on wheels, allowing them to be placed on land without needing a main house. This is a significant change from previous regulations where a main house was required.
* Regulation and Standards: The new laws also bring more regulation and standards to the tiny home industry. This is seen as a positive move as it ensures consumer protection and sets a standard for builders to follow.
* Certificate of Occupancy: The state of Colorado will allow tiny home owners to turn in their Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) or certificate of origin for their tiny house on wheels and get a certificate of occupancy if they're planning on putting it on land. This changes the classification of the tiny house from being considered an RV or personal property to real property, which has a lower tax rate and allows the land and home to increase in value.
* Tiny Home Communities: There is a growing trend of tiny home communities popping up across the state. Many RV parks are converting to tiny home communities as they are already set up for success. There are also specific communities being developed for different groups such as veterans, retirees, and autistic adults.
* Potential for Spread to Other States: The laws and regulations passed in Colorado are likely to spread to other states with similar governments that deal with building codes, inspections, and approvals at the local level instead of the state level.
* Financing Opportunities: With the new laws and the ability to get a certificate of occupancy, there may be more opportunities for financing, including the potential for mortgage loans with better interest rates and terms.
* Consultation and Support: Tiny Building Experts offers consultation and support for those interested in building a tiny home, navigating the new laws, or needing help with zoning and placement. They also offer support to other builders and small businesses in the industry.
