Per my understanding and in consulting with my TH builder, this bill is to associate Tiny homes in the factory home industry so they have a place in the codes for a building inspector to provide a certificate of occupancy. The bill specifically excludes THOWs in the wording. While this is the step in the right direction, it will help my builder and where I’m placing my TH to be certified. THOWs are still a grey area even if this bill passes.
This bill does NOT exclude THOWS. We were on 2 calls with the legislators and building officials, it is all about tiny houses on wheels as a permanent dwelling.
