Tiny home in backyard

[Zach Reichert]

I recently stayed in an Airbnb that was a tiny home in the backyard of someone’s personal residence. I loved the idea of that and am in the beginning stages to see if it would be a decent idea for an old concrete slab in my backyard where a detached garage used to be.

Has anyone done this and have any guidance for me?

I know I will need to check with the city to make sure I can even have something like this on my property, but what else am I not thinking about?

There is electrical that is already to the slab, but I would need to run water/sewer lines that I’m assuming would just connect to my residence line. Any idea of a general cost of something like that?
