Can I place a tiny home in my backyard or use it as a secondary dwelling in Nova Scotia?
Yes, municipalities like Halifax encourage secondary suites, so our modular homes make great ADUs for family or rentals—check local bylaws, and we’ll provide plans to meet setbacks and coverage rules.
What size can a tiny home be in Nova Scotia?
Tiny homes are typically ≤37 m² (400 ft²) under the Building Code; our models like the Thuya (200–250 ft²) offer full livability within these guidelines.
Are tiny homes connected to local utilities (water, power, sewage)?
Our homes easily connect to on-grid municipal services or off-grid solar and composting systems, fully compliant with Nova Scotia code—perfect for rural spots, and we’ll customize to fit your site.
Can I finance a tiny home in Nova Scotia?
Yes, modular units often qualify for mortgages or loans through banks like RBC or NS credit unions at 4–7% rates; we partner with lenders experienced in tiny homes to simplify your financing journey.
How much does a tiny home cost in Nova Scotia?
Prices start at $100,000 for base models like the Thuya, up to $200,000+ for customs, plus delivery ($4,000–$8,000 from Quebec) and site prep ($5,000–$15,000), delivering big savings compared to traditional Nova Scotia homes averaging $400,000+.
Can I live in a tiny home year-round in Nova Scotia’s climate?
Absolutely, our modular homes are crafted for NS's coastal winters with R-40+ insulation and efficient heating, providing cozy, reliable living in damp, windy conditions down to -20°C.
Where can I park or place a tiny home in Nova Scotia?
Modular tiny homes thrive on private land, backyards, or designated zones with municipal approval; for tiny homes on wheels, consider RV parks, seasonal sites, or communities like Halifax and Pictou that support small homes on undersized lots—let us help assess your location!
