What is a tiny house?
Technically, a tiny house is any home that is less than 400 square feet.
Many tiny homes are built on trailers so they can be towed anywhere, and some are converted from old school buses or minivans.
Each state has its own rules about tiny homes, but they generally aren't subject to the same taxes as regular homes.
However, Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, North Dakota, New Jersey, New York, Wisconsin and West Virginia have made tiny houses illegal as permanent residences.
