Tiny Home or RV? Okanagan Falls Couple Awaits Permit Decision

The Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen has classified the couple's dwelling as an "RV," which under local bylaws prohibits year-round occupancy. The couple disputes this, stating their 400-square-foot home built by Summit Tiny Homes is designed for permanent, full-time living. District staff recommend denying the temporary use permit, citing safety standards and wastewater disposal concerns. The RDOS board will review the options and vote on the matter at its Thursday meeting.
