Are Tiny Houses Legal In Mississippi?
Tiny houses were used by the Mississippi government as emergency shelters after Hurricane Katrina. Since then, it doesn’t appear that local governments have done much to move the tiny house trend forward in the state.
To some degree, this could give tiny house homeowners lots of freedom in the state of Mississippi. On the other hand, the lack of regulation can get pretty dicey when looking for a standard set of regulations that identify what is or is not allowed. Mississippi has yet to jump on the trend of adopting Appendix Q.
The State has also yet to provide an official classification for tiny homes on wheels as recreational vehicles or traditional houses. For now, contact your local representatives in Mississippi to find out what is allowed in your specific city or county.
