Zoning & Permits in Palm Bay
Brevard County zoning determines what you can build and where. Our builder partners know local permitting requirements and factor county rules into every quote.
| Zoning Factor | Brevard County Rule |
|---|---|
| §62-1844 — Explicit THOW permit | ✅ Brevard County §62-1844 (effective 2021): THOWs explicitly permitted as permanent primary residences — the ONLY county-level policy of its kind in Florida.

| Foundation tiny homes | Foundation tiny homes permitted on residential lots with standard Brevard County building permits. Minimum 200 sq ft, 6’4” ceiling. File with Brevard County Building Services. Palm Bay’s large inventory of vacant residential lots makes it the top THOW and foundation tiny home market in Brevard. |

Palm Bay Tiny Home Builder FAQ
Why is Palm Bay a top market for THOW buyers?
Palm Bay combines Brevard County’s unique §62-1844 THOW-as-primary-residence policy with the lowest land prices in Brevard. Palm Bay has a large inventory of vacant residential lots (many from a 1960s–70s platting era) at affordable per-lot prices, making it the most cost-accessible entry point for buyers wanting to own land and place a legal THOW primary residence in Florida. Combined with Brevard’s progressive THOW policy, Palm Bay offers a land ownership + THOW living path that simply doesn’t exist in most of Florida.
How is Palm Bay different from Melbourne for tiny homes?
Both cities are in Brevard County and share the same §62-1844 THOW policy — the key difference is price and inventory. Palm Bay has significantly more vacant residential lots at lower per-lot costs than Melbourne, making it more accessible for first-time tiny home buyers. Melbourne has higher land values (near Kennedy Space Center corridor) but also more established tiny home community infrastructure. Movable Roots (the local RVIA THOW builder) serves both cities equally. Our matching service can advise on currently available §62-1844 sites in both cities.
