We understand. Vermont hasn’t passed a statewide law for tiny homes yet, which means each town may set its own rules. That’s why every Zook Cabins park model is RVIA-certified and built to ANSI A119.5 standards, the nationally recognized code for recreational use. In Vermont, foundation-built tiny homes must comply with the International Residential Code (IRC). Park models, on the other hand, are often treated as recreational vehicles, giving you another path for placement in RV parks, campgrounds, or municipalities that allow RV living. For details, see our full guide to Tiny Home Regulations in Vermont.
