Frequently Asked Questions
Can I place a tiny home on my property in St. Louis?
St. Louis zoning is mixed, allowing tiny homes as accessory dwelling units in many residential areas, but check with the city’s Building Division for permits. Park Models and A-Frames are often accepted under residential codes, while THOWs may face stricter RV rules—consult local ordinances for your property.
Can I use it as an Airbnb?
Yes, short-term rentals are permitted in St. Louis with a license, driven by demand near downtown attractions, Busch Stadium, and hospitals like Barnes-Jewish. Ensure compliance with occupancy limits and zoning in neighborhoods like Soulard or Central West End to avoid fines.
Do you deliver here?
We deliver to St. Louis and nearby suburbs including Chesterfield, Clayton, and Kirkwood, handling setup for Park Models and A-Frames efficiently. THOWs can be transported as RVs, but verify site access and local placement rules beforehand.
