What size is a "tiny" house?

There isn't a single, official definition of what classifies as a tiny house, and the exact parameters of this subjective definition may vary by individual. One rule of thumb is that dwelling spaces must be less than 1000 square feet in size to be considered truly tiny.

As a whole, the "tiny" designation seems to be mostly subjective, though it's likely that no one is going to get away with claiming that their three-story, 5,000 square foot home with a tennis court and swimming pool in the backyard is tiny. "Tiny" is a specific word that has a specific connotation, and this alone may be enough to keep homeowners honest about what they've got.
