Tiny Homes

There is no official definition of “tiny home”. All “tiny homes” in Washington must meet either the State
Building Code requirements (RCW 19.27.031), Park Model RV (PMRV) requirements, the Recreational
Vehicle (RV) requirements (RCW 43.22.340) or the HUD Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard (CFR 3280) depending on how it will be used and constructed.
