Tiny Homes for Sale in Arizona

In Arizona, a KYRAX tiny home is typically classified as follows: A tiny house on wheels is a recreational vehicle or trailer under A.R.S. 41-4001; a foundation tiny house is regulated locally under the code each county or city has adopted. Whether it may sit on a particular lot is a local zoning question, which is why we check your exact address before you order.

The typical home value in Arizona is ~US$425K. Our flagship model, the Vale, starts at $119,900 CAD, a fraction of a conventional build (US pricing confirmed at your consultation). Common uses here are Backyard ADUs where locally permitted, desert guest and rental units, and high-country cabins around Flagstaff, Sedona and the White Mountains.

We ship from Surrey, British Columbia: Pacific Northwest down I-5, then inland via I-84/I-15 or I-10 toward Phoenix and Tucson; northern AZ served off I-40 and I-17. Estimated 3-6 days over the road from our Surrey, BC shop, depending on destination and permitting; a range, not a guaranteed schedule. Customs and oversize-load permits set the final window.

Each build is engineered to the values that govern here: frost depth: 0 in in the low deserts (Phoenix, Maricopa County, and Pima County below 4,000 ft); 24-30 in in the high country (Pima County above 4,000 ft 24 in, Flagstaff 30 in). Confirm locally; snow load: 0 psf in the deserts (Phoenix, Tucson); 60 psf ground snow load in Flagstaff, and Pima County's elevation bands step up to 80 psf above 8,000 ft; design wind: 115 mph ultimate (3-second gust, Risk Cat II) adopted across Maricopa and Pima under the 2018-code cycle; Phoenix's 2024 code lowers it to 105 mph (ASCE 7-22 basis); not a hurricane state.

Arizona builds to No statewide code for ordinary construction. Each city/county is its own AHJ. Phoenix is on the 2024 I-Codes with the 2023 NEC (effective Aug 2025), Pima County on the 2024 I-Codes with the 2023 NEC (effective Jan 2026), unincorporated Maricopa County still on the 2018 I-Codes with the 2017 NEC. Every KYRAX home is built to its US certification pathway: RVIA or NOAH inspection for tiny homes on wheels, ANSI A119.5 for park models, IBC/IRC for modular, with third-party certification for your destination market written into the build contract and confirmed before delivery.

Arizona does not decide that at state level, and no state does: zoning, the building code and the health authority each decide part of it locally. What Arizona does set is how the home is classified: A tiny house on wheels is a recreational vehicle or trailer under A.R.S. 41-4001; a foundation tiny house is regulated locally under the code each county or city has adopted. That usually settles it, because a home treated as a vehicle is often barred as a permanent dwelling however it is powered, while a modular home on a foundation may be allowed on the same parcel. We have not verified septic or utility-connection rules for Arizona; your building department and health authority can confirm them.

It is a vehicle in Arizona law, not a building. A.R.S. 41-4001 defines a recreational vehicle to include a park trailer of 320 to 400 square feet and a travel trailer. Vehicle titling runs through ADOT's Motor Vehicle Division, so ask MVD how your unit will be classified before you buy. A vehicle title does not make it a legal dwelling on land. Permanent placement is governed by local zoning and building code.

It depends on the jurisdiction. A.R.S. 11-861 lets a county adopt a building code rather than setting one statewide, and the residential code's tiny house appendix is adopted place by place. Pima County and Cochise County have adopted it with the 2024 code, and Phoenix's 2024 building code includes it. Elsewhere a small house has to meet the ordinary residential code, so confirm with the specific building department before you commit.
