• Art.: Department of Local Affairs

Text

(1) By July 1, 2023, the board
shall promulgate rules establishing standards for the manufacture of tiny homes.
The board may use any national or international standard that is appropriate for all
or a portion of a tiny home if the board finds that the standard provides for
reasonable safety standards for tiny home occupants. The board may modify, by
rule, any national or international standard adopted under this subsection (1) as
necessary for use in Colorado.

(2) The board shall establish standards for connecting a tiny home to
utilities, including water, sewer, natural gas, and electricity.

(3) In promulgating rules under this section, the board shall consider:

(a) The importance of keeping tiny homes affordable;

(b) The unique characteristics of tiny homes such as size constraints and
construction on a chassis so that they can be moved from site to site;

(c) That many tiny homes are built by shops producing fewer than twenty
units per year;

(d) That many tiny homes are custom-built rather than mass-produced
models; and

(e) That many tiny homes are built by their owners rather than by commercial
shops.
