Accessory Dwelling units (adu's)



At Tiny House Building Company, we are building the future of housing in Virginia—and that future is already here.

With the passage of Virginia Senate Bill 531, taking effect July 1, 2027, the way homes are built, used, and invested in is changing forever!

For the first time, homeowners across the state will be able to add Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)—including tiny homes—by-right on residential properties, without the red tape that once made these projects difficult or impossible.

This means:
• No more special-use approvals in most cases
• Permit fees capped (dramatically lowering barriers)
• Ability to build in single-family zones statewide
• Freedom to rent these units to non-family members
• Reduced zoning restrictions- i.e. excessive setbacks

What We Do

Tiny House Building Company is positioned at the forefront of this transformation—designing and building high quality, code-compliant tiny homes and ADUs that unlock new income, flexibility, and property value for homeowners! We don’t just build structures—we build income-producing assets and lifestyle solutions.

• Our focus includes: Backyard ADU construction (detached tiny homes)
• Income-producing rental units
• In-law suites and multigenerational housing
• Short-term and long-term rental setups (where allowed)
• Turnkey design + build solutions tailored to each property

Why This Matters

Virginia is facing a housing shortage, and this law is a direct response—opening the door for thousands of new small-scale housing units across the state. What used to be complicated, expensive, and uncertain is now predictable, scalable and profitable. This creates a massive opportunity for homeowners andinvestors to:

• Generate passive income from their backyard
• Increase property value significantly
• Build flexible housing for family or tenants
• Enter the real estate market at a lower cost

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: Make it easy for homeowners to take advantage of Virginia’s new ADU laws and turn unused space into opportunity.
As a class-A licensed and insured contractor in theCommonwealth of Virginia, we guide clients from concept to completion—handling design, permitting, compliance, and construction—so they can confidently step into this new era of housing.
