Arizona does allow tiny homes on wheels (THOWs), but the rules depend heavily on where you plan to park or live in one. At the state level, THOWs are treated much like RVs, meaning they usually need to be parked in RV parks, mobile home zones, or campgrounds, while permanent tiny homes must follow building codes like the IRC Appendix Q. Some counties, like Pima and Coconino, have embraced clear standards, while others may require extra permits or even a foundation. To help you understand what’s required where you live, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to tiny home rules and regulations throughout Arizona

Since they’re classified as RVs, park models can be placed in RV resorts, campgrounds, or communities, giving you the freedom to enjoy city conveniences or retreat to quieter landscapes.
Lower Ongoing Costs
With a smaller footprint than traditional houses, park model homes naturally use less energy and require less upkeep, cutting down your utility bills and freeing up time to focus on the things you love.
Access to Nature
Whether it’s hiking through Sedona’s red rocks, exploring Flagstaff’s pine forests, or relaxing by Lake Havasu, a park model home lets you stay close to Arizona’s best adventures without sacrificing comfort.

Yes, tiny houses are legal in Arizona, but the details depend on how and where you build. Foundation-based tiny homes are widely accepted across the state as long as they follow the International Residential Code Appendix Q, which covers things like ceiling heights, loft safety, and electrical standards. Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOWs), however, are classified as RVs, meaning they usually need to be parked in RV parks, campgrounds, or zones that allow mobile homes. Since each county sets its own rules, it’s always smart to check with local zoning offices before starting construction.
Arizona is home to a variety of tiny home communities that make downsized living both practical and enjoyable. Luxtiny in Lakeside offers a modern village with stylish homes and shared outdoor spaces, while Tiny House Village in Flagstaff brings mountain views and a close-knit neighborhood feel. For a more purpose-driven approach, Eden Village in Phoenix provides supportive housing through thoughtfully designed tiny homes. Whether you’re after comfort, scenery, or community, Arizona has a tiny home village that fits.
No, park model tiny homes are not considered mobile homes in Arizona. Instead, they’re built to RV standards (ANSI A119.5), capped at 399 sq. ft., and legally treated as recreational vehicles. That means they can usually be placed in RV parks or zones that allow RVs, but they don’t fall under HUD’s mobile home classification. In some cases, if set on a permanent foundation, counties may allow them to function more like traditional dwellings.
