Tiny Houses in Backyard

[Alex Chau]

Hi all,

I live in the bay area and I was wondering if I was able to put a tiny house in my backyard. The property is zoned for SFH. My plan is to use it sparingly as an airbnb rental and a "guest house". My perspective is what is stopping me from building a "tree house" and renting it out through airbnb. Any thoughts?

You live in the strictest parochial centrally controlled city on the west coast. If you think the city is just going to let you build on your own property without putting you through the ringer good luck
