RV PARK CONVERSION• Zoning and infrastructure
already in place• Doesn’t always allow for full-
time living year round –depends on park
• Some RV parks don’t allow tiny houses
• Others are recruiting them• Usually in peri-urban areas
or rural areas

NON-BUILDABLE OR VACANT LOTS
• Work with city, community groups, or developers
• Blighted properties in cities • Better for temporary structures
(on wheels)• Could try for zoning variance to
get property to be deemed buildable (alley lots in DC)
Non-buildable lot in DC that is home to an urban garden
