THOW or RV-like structure
Possible path: RV park, tiny home community, temporary use permit, or limited accessory use if local rules allow it. Verify whether full-time residential use is treated differently from camping or temporary occupancy.

Placement guide
Tiny house placement usually depends on the category
A seller may call many structures a "tiny home." Local offices often care about a more specific category.
Park model RV
Possible path: a park, campground, or community designed for park models. Ask whether the local office treats it as an RV, dwelling, accessory structure, or something else for the intended use.
Foundation tiny home or ADU
Possible path: primary dwelling or accessory dwelling unit if zoning, building code, lot, utility, and occupancy rules fit. Local ADU ordinances and minimum dwelling standards can matter.
Modular or manufactured home
Possible path: manufactured or modular housing rules if the home meets the relevant certification, siting, foundation, zoning, and installation requirements. Confirm the exact classification before purchase.
Why city vs county matters
Land outside city limits may still be governed by county zoning, health department rules, state building codes, subdivision covenants, utility districts, fire access rules, and deed restrictions. If a property is inside a city, city zoning may be the first gate.
Why seller claims are not enough
Be careful with claims like "legal anywhere" or "no restrictions." Ask for official ordinance links, the parcel's zoning district, occupancy rules, utility requirements, and written confirmation from the relevant office before relying on the claim.
