Everything we get asked, written down.
No gated PDFs and no sales call required. If something is missing, ask and we will add it.
Do I need planning permission for a Reflecta?
Far less than for a normal house. It arrives 100% built and factory-inspected, so there is no construction site to permit, only the foundation and hook-ups.
On piers it is assessed as a small dwelling, guest house or ADU, and we supply the stamped structural, electrical and plumbing drawings plus wind and snow calculations. On the trailer chassis it is registered as a movable tiny home, which in most places needs no building permit at all, only local rules on where it can be parked and for how long. A coordinator checks your address before you pay beyond the reservation.
What does the trailer option change?
It turns the home into a movable tiny home on a road-legal steel chassis, registered like a vehicle rather than a building.
That passes most local laws without a building permit and without a foundation, and it means you can move the home to another plot later. It is the fastest route to renting: place it, connect water and power, list it. The chassis adds $12,000 and is available on the Nest and Mirror homes.
Can I rent it out straight away?
Yes. It arrives furnished, plumbed and wired, so it is ready for guests the week it lands.
Short-term rental rules are set locally. Check whether your area needs a rental licence or occupancy tax registration; most owners have both in place before delivery day.
What if I do not own land yet?
Reserve anyway. The refundable deposit holds a production slot while you search, and the slot moves with you if the purchase slips.
Buyers who reserve before buying land tend to shop better, because they already know the access, slope and service requirements to check. Send us a listing and a coordinator will tell you within a day whether a home can physically get onto it.
