We get it. West Virginia’s rules for tiny homes can feel complicated, especially since every county or town may interpret zoning a little differently. That’s why every Zook Cabins park model comes RVIA-certified, built to ANSI A119.5 standards, the same code recognized nationwide for recreational use. Across West Virginia, tiny homes built on foundations must meet the International Residential Code (IRC), while park models are treated as recreational vehicles. That distinction often makes park models easier to place in RV parks or approved private sites. For more details, see our guide to Tiny Home Regulations in West Virginia for clear answers on what’s allowed and how to begin.

Ideal Locations for Your Park Model Tiny Homes in West Virginia
Tiny homes are legal statewide, but are often limited by ADU rules with higher size minimums. In many cases, that makes park model homes, classified as RVs, easier to place in RV parks, campgrounds, or on private land where zoning allows.
Hardy County With higher minimums for traditional dwellings, Hardy makes RV-classified park models a more practical way to enjoy small living.
Jefferson County Jefferson allows ADUs under housing codes, but park models are classified as RVs. This makes park models easier to place in RV parks or other approved areas, offering a simpler alternative to meeting full ADU requirements.
