Frequently Asked Questions

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

In Reno, zoning is mixed, allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in many residential areas with permits, but check Washoe County codes for setbacks and utilities. Park Models and A-Frames are most accepted as permanent structures, while THOWs may face stricter RV rules—consult local planning for feasibility.

Can I use it as an Airbnb?

Yes, Reno’s booming tourism from casinos, events like Burning Man, and proximity to Lake Tahoe drives high Airbnb demand in downtown and Midtown. Short-term rentals are permitted with a city license, making tiny homes ideal for compliant, profitable stays.

Do you deliver here?

We deliver to Reno and nearby areas including Sparks, Carson City, and Washoe County suburbs. Our team handles transport for Park Models, A-Frames, and THOWs, ensuring compliance with Nevada road regulations.
