Are you a Developer or Builder?
We know a lot of people are interested in how they can get involved. Our first step is to find a tiny home project to build a proof of concept. This is a test project to allow us to take all the necessary steps for getting a small home or development of small homes past code enforcement and zoning. To that end, we are looking for an individual or a developer willing to work with us on a project.
Individual: This would be someone who is interested in building a home
that would not normally meet the minimum size requirements under current
codes. This would need to be on land within the city limits of
Asheville. The individual interested would need to be able to finance or
pay for the project in its entirety and already have those means in
place. This will be a tiny or small home on a foundation.
Developer: This would be a person or business interested in creating a cottage development with multiple tiny or small homes on the same plot of land. This could be homes on a foundation or, perhaps, a rehabilitated mobile home park for tiny houses on wheels. This project would need to already have financial backing and be within the city limits of Asheville. We could work with you to determine the total cost and potential for selling or renting these tiny homes to citizens within our community once the project is complete.
If you are or know anyone who would be interested in working with us and taking on a test case for tiny/small homes within the city, please pass this on and send us a private message here on Facebook. We will do our best to respond to all inquiries but we are looking for a serious partner in this process.
We will keep you updated on the website and any other advances we have while trying to make tiny homes legal in our city.

November, 2015 Update:
We have met with the city again and there is some good news on the tiny home front in Asheville. We are working with them to put together a resource guide that will help individual home owners and community developers build small and tiny homes within the city limits. We will provide more details when we have them!
