In 2020, I spent over $4,000 constructing a microhome in the backyard of my 1,400-square-foot Atlanta, Georgia home.<\/p>\n

The rent I receive from my primary residence now covers my mortgage, property taxes, and utility expenses, making it possible for me to live there for free.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s only 296 square feet in size, this home makes good use of its space. I have a tendency to forget that I am confined to a shed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The trend of tiny houses is just taking off in the United States, but getting one built isn\u2019t as simple as it may seem. My suggestions for constructing a little house in the yard:<\/p>\n

First, you should research the zoning regulations in your area.
\nSome big cities are relaxing laws on tiny homes to increase the housing supply, while many others still have stringent limitations on what can be built on private property.<\/p>\n

Zoning regulations are often listed with a property\u2019s address on a city\u2019s zoning map. Do a fast Google search with your city\u2019s name and the terms \u201czoning map\u201d or \u201czoning office.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are still having trouble, you should contact the city\u2019s planning and construction division.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
