Garage Converted into 250 Sq. Ft. Tiny House (Now For Sale)
This post features a 12′ by 24′ garage that has been transformed into a 250 sq. ft. tiny house, currently up for sale due to its illegal conversion without permits.
It serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the risks of building without proper permits. If caught, you may be required to dismantle your project, undoing all your hard work.
The homeowner rented out the tiny house to vacationers for a few years until authorities were alerted, prompting a potential requirement to dismantle or convert it back into a workshop/garage to comply with regulations. Instead, the owner is attempting to sell it for $20,000. However, since it’s not built on a trailer, the buyer would need to remove it from the foundation. The Craigslist listing suggests hiring a house raising service for assistance. The property is located in Vancouver.
Take a tour, learn more, and consider sharing this cautionary tale to raise awareness about the importance of obtaining permits before construction. Thank you for reading!
