Legal status of tiny houses in Turkey

In Turkey, tiny houses are not completely banned, but their legal status depends on type and location. Mobile houses on wheels are often treated as caravans and do not require a permit if not used as permanent housing with infrastructure connections. Stationary tiny houses are considered buildings and require a mandatory building permit on plots with an approved development plan. Placement on agricultural land without permission incurs fines and risk of demolition.

Experience of living in a 37-square-meter Tiny House

A German couple shares their experience living in a serial tiny house of 37 square meters, which was initially poorly designed for permanent residence. They have been adapting the space for five and a half years, using multifunctional zones and vertical storage. Main challenges include inconvenient layout and the constant need to remodel rooms.
