Zoning & Placement

Phoenix is implementing Arizona's 2024 ADU legislation with published guidance on how many ADUs may be allowed per qualifying lot. Foundation ADUs and compact detached units are a strong bet here.

Verify current requirements with your local planning department.

What to verify locally

  • Confirm whether your tiny home will be treated as an ADU, a site-built dwelling, or a recreational vehicle.
  • Ask about utility hookup requirements, especially sewer, electrical service, and emergency-access setbacks.
  • Check whether long-term occupancy is allowed on the lot type you are considering.
  • Verify minimum square footage requirements for your zone classification.

Where to Park

Communities, RV parks, and parking options in and near Phoenix.

THOW placement requires a separate legal path from foundation-based ADUs. Trailer-based units are not covered by the standard ADU framework.
