How do I connect my tiny home utilities (water, power, sewage) in New Brunswick?

Our tiny homes support both on-grid connections to municipal water, power, and sewage systems and off-grid setups with solar panels and composting toilets, fully compliant with New Brunswick codes and customized to your site’s needs.

Can I live in a tiny home year-round in New Brunswick’s climate?

What is the minimum and maximum size for a tiny home in New Brunswick?

Tiny homes in New Brunswick are typically defined as being up to 37 m² (400 ft²) under the Building Code. There’s no strict minimum, but homes must meet habitability standards, with our models like the Thuya (200–250 ft²) designed for full functionality within these limits.

Where can I park or place a tiny home in New Brunswick?

Tiny homes can be placed on private land, backyards, or RV parks, depending on municipal zoning. Modular homes are ideal for private lots or designated communities, while tiny homes on wheels suit RV parks or seasonal sites in areas like Fredericton or Moncton. Contact us to evaluate your specific location.

Are tiny homes legal in New Brunswick?

Yes, tiny homes are legal in New Brunswick, provided they comply with the New Brunswick Building Code and local zoning bylaws. Modular homes can be used as permanent residences, while tiny homes on wheels are often classified as recreational vehicles (RVs) and may face restrictions for year-round living in some areas. We can assist with navigating local regulations to ensure compliance.
