Building and living in tiny homes has become popular in Coconino County and nationwide. Top row, from left: a tiny home brought into Coconino County fully constructed, a home being built by a Coconino County resident, a sample tiny home built by Hope Construction. Bottom row, from left: The beginnings of a custom tiny home being built by Ehren Michaelis, a tiny home built by Hope Construction and the interior of a tiny home brought into Coconino County fully constructed.

In the months since Coconino County approved rules for tiny homes, Amanda Acheson, the county’s sustainable building program manager, has been contacted by “at least a couple people a day” who are interested in building or living in a tiny home.

“A lot of the people I talk to are teachers, I have worked with nurses, retirees, students and anyone who wants to live more simply,” Acheson said. “These can be transitional homes, either for young people trying to transition into the housing market or people who are retiring and want to downsize.”
