Tiny Homes for Sale in Idaho

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. 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 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). Common uses here are Accessory dwelling units, park model RVs at lake and recreation properties, guest and backcountry cabins, and rural infill dwellings.

We ship from Surrey, British Columbia: 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. Customs and oversize-load permits set the final window.

Each build is engineered to the values that govern here: frost depth: About 24 in typical in valleys (Boise 24 in); 36-48+ in in colder mountain and eastern jurisdictions; snow load: ~20-25 psf ground snow in valley cities (Boise 20 psf ground / 25 psf min roof); 100+ psf at higher elevations; design wind: ~115 mph basic design speed (ASCE 7-16, Risk Category II) as the common default; some valley areas use ~90-105 mph.

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.

Idaho 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 Idaho does set is how the home is classified: 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. 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 Idaho; your building department and health authority can confirm them.

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.
