Tallahassee Tiny Home Builder FAQ
What is Leon County’s 2024 ADU ordinance?
Leon County’s 2024 ADU ordinance allows accessory dwelling units on all SF lots with a maximum size of 1,200 sq ft. Importantly, the ordinance explicitly permits long-term rentals of ADUs — making Tallahassee ADU builds a viable rental income investment near FSU, FAMU, and Florida state government employment. Setbacks: 5 ft from side and rear property lines. File with Leon County’s Planning, Land Management, and Community Enhancement department or City of Tallahassee Growth Management depending on your parcel location.

How much does a tiny home cost in Tallahassee?
ADU foundation builds in Tallahassee typically run $110,000–$165,000 — among the lowest in Florida due to lower land and labor costs in the Panhandle region. Leon County permit fees add approximately $1,500–$3,000. THOW delivery starts around $55,000–$85,000. Park model placement in a Tallahassee-area licensed community runs $45,000–$110,000 for the unit. Tallahassee’s dual university market (FSU + FAMU) drives reliable rental demand for ADU builds near campus corridors.
Can I rent out an ADU in Tallahassee?
Yes — Leon County’s 2024 ADU ordinance explicitly allows long-term rental of ADUs (30+ days). Short-term rentals (under 30 days) require Florida DBPR vacation rental licensing and must comply with any HOA restrictions. Given FSU, FAMU, and state government employment, Tallahassee has strong demand for long-term rentals — a 400–600 sq ft ADU near campus typically rents for $800–$1,200/month. Our builder partners can project rental yield for your specific Tallahassee lot.
