Trinity County enacts code to regulate movable tiny homes
Summary
The Board adopted an ordinance creating County Code section 15.27 to regulate movable tiny homes; the building division director told the board there is strong local interest in using tiny homes as part of housing options.
Cody Smith, Trinity County building division director, briefed the board on movable tiny homes and told supervisors the community has strong interest in the topic. On June 17 the board waived reading and enacted Trinity County Code §15.27, the ordinance regulating movable tiny homes.
Smith said many residents contacted the county after the first hearing and that staff were prepared to answer questions and move forward with implementation. No public comments were raised at the second reading and the board approved the ordinance.
Why this matters: The code change establishes local regulatory clarity for movable tiny homes, which supporters and some county staff view as one tool to increase housing options. The ordinance was adopted at the board’s second reading.
