Frequently Asked Questions

Can I place a tiny home on my property in Delaware?

Delaware has mixed zoning regulations, with counties like New Castle, Kent, and Sussex offering more flexibility for Park Models and A-Frames on private land, often treated as accessory dwellings. Tiny homes on wheels (THOWs) may face stricter RV rules, so check local ordinances in areas like Wilmington or Dover for permits.

Can I use it as an Airbnb?

Yes, tiny homes work well for short-term rentals in tourist spots like Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach, where demand is high due to coastal appeal. Ensure compliance with county short-term rental laws in Sussex or Kent Counties to avoid fines.
