In Oregon, tiny home regulations vary significantly by county, but the state has recently moved to make long-term residency much easier. Permanent tiny homes on foundations must follow the Small Home Specialty Code, which is based on the 2018 IRC Appendix Q.
If you are placing your home on a rural lot, Senate Bill 1013 now allows counties to “opt in” and permit one tenant-owned tiny home on wheels per residential lot. Counties like Clackamas, Deschutes, and Lane have already adopted these rules. We’ve created a detailed Oregon tiny home guide to help you navigate L&I insignias and local permits.
Small doesn’t have to mean limiting. Our park model homes are designed to feel airy, functional, and beautifully put together, with smart layouts and elevated finishes throughout. Step inside the A-frame model and see how efficient design can create a space that feels open, comfortable, and far larger than you’d expect.
Oregon’s long, damp winters require superior moisture management to prevent rot and mold. Our homes feature specialized rain screens and high-performance vapor barriers, ensuring your sanctuary remains dry and comfortable through every winter storm.
Energy-Efficient for Oregon Winters
From the freezing nights of Bend to the mild valleys of Eugene, our tiny homes are engineered for year-round comfort. We use high-spec insulation and energy-efficient climate control to lower your utility costs while keeping you warm during mountain freezes.
Approved for Rural Oregon Living
Thanks to Oregon’s Senate Bill 1013, living in a park model on rural residential lots is now a clear, legal path in many counties. Our designs are built to meet the rigorous safety standards required for long-term residency outside urban growth boundaries.
Low-Impact Housing for Oregon Land
Many Oregon properties sit on large rural lots outside urban growth boundaries, where traditional housing can be expensive or limited. Zook’s park model homes arrive fully finished and are well-suited for acreage, hobby farms, and wooded land.
