Tiny Homes for Sale in Idaho

Placement depends on your jurisdiction, which is why we check your exact address before you order. In Idaho, a KYRAX tiny home is typically classified as follows: A tiny house on wheels is titled and registered only as a vehicle (a park model RV or a travel/camp trailer), not as real property. A foundation-built unit of 400 sq ft or less can be permitted as a dwelling under IRC Appendix Q.. Idaho was the first U.S. state to adopt IRC Appendix Q statewide (Idaho Residential Code, 2020 ed., based on 2018 IRC), so a foundation-built tiny house of 400 sq ft or less can be permitted as a legal dwelling in most jurisdictions — generally a cleaner path than a THOW for full-time residence. Local zoning, setbacks, and utility rules still apply — run your site through the zoning lookup and we'll tell you plainly what works.

The median home price in Idaho is ~US$480K. Our flagship model, the Vale, starts at $119,900 CAD — a fraction of a conventional build (US pricing confirmed at your consultation). On a foundation, our modular models follow the US mortgage path (IBC/IRC); movable models use chattel or RV lending. Common uses here are Accessory dwelling units, park model RVs at lake and recreation properties, guest and backcountry cabins, and rural infill dwellings, and we quote your specific situation on request.

We ship from Surrey, British Columbia via the South from the Lower Mainland through Washington, then I-90 east to the North Idaho panhandle or south via US-95 / I-84 into the Treasure Valley. Estimated 2-4 days from our Surrey, BC shop; cross-border, subject to customs clearance and oversize permits — quoted per site, not a guaranteed timeline — this is a cross-border estimate; customs clearance and oversize-load permits affect timing, so we confirm it per site. Foundation models travel as pre-finished panels; trailer (THOW) models arrive road-ready for on-site leveling.

Idaho-bound KYRAX builds are engineered to real local conditions: About 24 in typical in valleys (Boise 24 in); 36-48+ in in colder mountain and eastern jurisdictions frost depth, ~20-25 psf ground snow in valley cities (Boise 20 psf ground / 25 psf min roof); 100+ psf at higher elevations ground snow load, ~115 mph basic design speed (ASCE 7-16, Risk Category II) as the common default; some valley areas use ~90-105 mph basic design wind speed, and Seismic Design Category Seismic Design Category C to D across most populated areas (Boise ~C); locally up to D/E near active faults in central Idaho. We size insulation, framing, and anchorage to the actual ASCE 7 / IBC values for your site — not a generic climate package.

Idaho builds to 2018 IRC (Idaho Residential Code, 2020 ed.) and 2018 IBC statewide; structural loads per ASCE 7-16. 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. We can walk you through the engineering documentation your local authority may require.

Yes, but only as a vehicle. A park-model-standard unit (ANSI A119.5) is registered as a park model recreational vehicle, and a smaller RVIA-certified or homemade trailer is titled as a travel or camp trailer through ITD and the county DMV under the RV fee schedule. This gives the unit vehicle status, not permanent-dwelling status, and does not by itself make full-time living on a lot legal. A homemade trailer without manufacturer certification typically needs a VIN inspection.

It depends on where you are. SB 1354, effective July 1, 2026, requires cities over 10,000 population to allow at least one ADU per single-family lot and bars owner-occupancy and most parking mandates. Counties and towns under 10,000 population are not covered and keep full local control, and many still prohibit full-time RV or THOW occupancy. Boise, for example, permits a THOW as an ADU under 400 sq ft in select zoning districts as of July 1, 2025. Confirm the rules for your specific jurisdiction before you buy.
