We get it. North Carolina requires each habitable room in a tiny home to be at least 70 sq. ft. with a 7-foot ceiling, and zoning rules can differ from county to county. That can make foundation-built tiny homes tricky, but there’s no need to worry. Every Zook Cabins park model is RVIA-certified and built to ANSI A119.5 standards, the same code recognized nationwide for recreational use. In North Carolina, park models are treated as RVs, which often makes them easier to place in RV parks, campgrounds, or on private land where zoning allows.
