St. Petersburg Tiny Home Zoning & Building Requirements

Zoning: St. Petersburg permits accessory dwelling units on most single-family lots within city limits, while nearby Pinellas and Pasco counties often allow greater flexibility for park model placements on larger parcels. Verify current setbacks and restrictions with the local planning department before purchase.

Permits: Urban placements in St. Petersburg generally require building permits for utility and septic connections. RVIA-certified park model homes may qualify for RV permits in rural county locations such as Pasco.

Financing: Most Florida buyers use RV loans or personal loans to finance their park model home. Great Lakes Tiny Homes can refer you to lenders experienced with this type of purchase.
