Did you know that in many counties across the United States, you can build a tiny house on your own land without a building permit? Here are 15 legal shelters you can build for under $2,000 in materials: from the reclaimed-materials cabin and the A-frame cabin to adobe, the hut, straw bale, yurt, and geodesic dome.

I'll also explain why the city can't touch what you build outside its boundaries, the difference between building and living in a tiny house, and the land-buying pitfalls that have cost our community dearly: lots without water or drainage and installment contracts with the owner.

⚠️ Important: The permit exception for tiny houses (typically up to 200 square feet, in some places 120 or less) covers the act of building, not necessarily living or sleeping inside. Zoning, water, and drainage rules vary by state, county, and city. Prices are approximate, for materials only, and vary depending on your location. This video is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Before building, please check with your county's building department and planning office.
