Tiny House Regulations and Zoning Requirements in Michigan
Michigan is perhaps the most tiny-house-friendly of all the Midwest states, and the evidence of that is the many tiny home builders that have popped up across the state.
Many counties and towns are adapting to this kind of housing.
In 2016, for example, Briley township in northern Michigan adapted its zoning regulations to be more tiny house friendly. They came up with a new type of dwelling dubbed ‘Economy Efficient Dwelling’.
It is defined as a dwelling that is more than 240 sq ft but less than 500 sq ft with a minimum side elevation of no less than 12 ft and no more than 20 ft, a minimum length of 20 ft,t and a maximum length of 30 ft. It must be built on a permanent foundation.
In Detroit, ADUs are allowed, but only in certain zoning districts. R1 and R2 districts do not allow them.
Also, for the zones that allow ADUs, you can only live there if someone is currently living in the primary dwelling.
