We understand. In Indiana, tiny home rules can shift depending on the city or county you’re in. To give you peace of mind, every Zook Cabins park model carries the RVIA Seal and is built to ANSI A119.5 standards, the same standards Indiana applies to recreational vehicles. Because zoning and permitting are handled locally, our Indiana tiny home regulations guide is a valuable resource for understanding what’s allowed where you plan to live.

In Indiana, a park model is legally an RV, built under ANSI A119.5 standards and certified by the RVIA. These are typically placed in RV parks or licensed campgrounds. A tiny home on a permanent foundation, by contrast, falls under the Indiana Residential Code (based on the IRC) and must meet local zoning and building requirements.
Yes. In Indiana, tiny homes built on a foundation must follow the Indiana Residential Code. This means you’ll need to obtain a building permit, pass required inspections, and receive a certificate of occupancy before living in your home. Park models, by contrast, are registered as RVs and require proper titling and registration instead of building permits. For more information on permits, read our article Tiny Home Regulations In Indiana: The Complete Guide.
Park models in Indiana are legally classified as RVs. This means they can be placed in licensed campgrounds, RV parks, and other areas where recreational vehicles are permitted. If you’d like to place one on private land, you’ll need to check your local zoning rules, as placement options vary by county and municipality.

Ideal Locations for Your Park Model Tiny Homes in Indiana
Indiana has embraced tiny home living through its adoption of the Indiana Residential Code, which sets consistent standards statewide. While every county allows tiny homes under these rules, placement and zoning can still vary locally. Here are a few notable counties where the path to owning a park model tiny home is clear:
Allen County In Allen County, tiny homes are legal under the Indiana Residential Code. Homes must be 400 sq. ft. or less with a minimum ceiling height of 6 feet 8 inches. A building permit and inspections are required, and once approved, you’ll receive a certificate of occupancy.
Bartholomew County Bartholomew County also follows the Indiana Residential Code. Like elsewhere in the state, homes are capped at 400 sq. ft. with ceilings at least 6 feet 8 inches tall. Building permits and inspections ensure compliance before a certificate of occupancy is issued.
Brown County Brown County welcomes tiny homes under the same Indiana Residential Code standards. Permits and inspections are required, but once completed, your home can be approved for full-time living.
While Indiana counties follow the same code requirements, each municipality may apply local zoning differently. Always check with your local zoning department to confirm placement rules before moving forward.
