Based on Code - Can you build a Tiny Home to rent on Airbnb

[Annunciata R.]

Im looking at the code and the legality of tiny homes.

You dont need a permit to build a one-story detached accessory buildings used as tool and storage sheds, playhouses and similar uses, provided the gross floor area does not exceed a set amount of square feet, the plate height does not exceed a set feet in height above the grade plane at any point, and the maximum roof projection does not exceed certain amount of inches.

If I built my Tiny home which did not require permits to observe the additional rules of Title 11 of the health homes code including the relevant cubic feed of air in the sleeping area, can I rent the home out?

If not how can I get a tiny home used for rental purposes. Is it simply a case of apply for a permit where ordinarily one would not have been needed?

Thank you in advance

The code you're reading applies to sheds, not dwelling units.  So, yes, you are building a shed.  Codes for habitable structures are much more complex.  You absolutely will have to have permits to build a structure people are going to live in.  Even if its just for a night.
