Tiny homes have grown in popularity throughout the country. They take up very little space, are efficient and can be relatively affordable.
So, can you place a tiny home on a vacant lot in Rio Rancho? Well, that depends on how tiny of a home you are wanting to live in.
In Rio Rancho, the minimum size for a home is 1,008 square feet. With most tiny homes ranging from 100 to 500 square feet, the ready-to-go home you saw online will unfortunately not be an option.
You’ll want to run your plans through the Planning & Zoning Department in the City of Rio Rancho or Sandoval county.
When building a home, you’ll also need to factor in a source for water, sewage, natural gas (if desired) and energy. Based on the cost to setup alternative sources for the bare necessities, it could be more practical to buy a home in Rio Rancho.
