Land options for Tiny Homes in NZ

Tiny homes are becoming increasingly popular in New Zealand as a sustainable and affordable housing option, but finding land to put them on can be a challenge, especially for those on a tight budget.

In this article, we will explore some of the options available for people looking to put a tiny home somewhere in New Zealand.

Find land available off the beaten path

One option for those on a tight budget is to look for land that is off the beaten path. This can include rural or remote areas, or even industrial or commercial land that is not being used. While these areas may not be as desirable as more populated areas, they can be a lot more affordable and offer more privacy. However, it is important to note that in New Zealand, it is illegal to live in a tiny home on a piece of land without permission from the landowner, and in some cases, you may also need to seek permission from local authorities and comply with building codes and regulations.

Discover Landshare NZ

Another option is to look for land that is being offered through Landshare NZ. Landshare NZ is a platform that connects property owners who have land with individuals or groups who are looking for land to build tiny homes on. This platform allows property owners to share land that is not being used, or that they are willing to make available, with people who are interested in living in a tiny home. This can be a great way for people on a tight budget to find land to put their tiny home on, and for property owners to make their land available to those who need it.

Look for land available for rent or lease

A third option is to look for land that is being offered for rent or lease. This can include land that is being offered by private individuals, as well as land that is being offered by local authorities or government agencies. Renting or leasing land can be a great option for those on a tight budget as it allows them to put their tiny home on land without having to buy it outright. However, it is important to note that renting or leasing land can also come with its own set of challenges, such as having to comply with the terms of the lease or rental agreement, and possibly having to move your tiny home if the lease or rental agreement ends.

In conclusion, while finding land to put a tiny home on in New Zealand can be challenging, especially for those on a tight budget, there are options available. From looking for land in rural or remote areas, to finding land through Landshare NZ, or renting or leasing land, there are ways for people to put their tiny home somewhere in New Zealand. However, it is important to note that it is illegal to live in a tiny home on a piece of land without permission from the landowner and also it's important to comply with all the laws and regulations.
