Colorado DOLA Clarifies New Tiny Home State Program

What Is A Tiny Home?

Effective July 1, 2023, the state uses the following definition for the construction of a tiny home.  A tiny home means 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

What a tiny home is not: 

  • A manufactured home as defined in C.R.S. 24-32-3302(20)
  • A recreational park trailer
  • A recreational vehicle
  • A semitrailer
  • An intermodal shipping container

In order to meet this definition, a tiny home must be built to the International Residential Code as adopted by the Building Codes & Standards program within the Division of Housing.  Colorado tiny homes will receive a metal plate insignia that certifies the tiny home is built to the codes and standards of the program.  When installed on a temporary or permanent foundation, the tiny home will also receive a metal plate installation insignia.
