How to permit a TINY HOME on a fixed foundation in California and the steps you NEED to take!

[@Robuilt]

There is a slight dead space from 8:10 - 8:18. In this nailbiting 8 seconds, I say that Step 4 of the process is getting a site planned design. Sorry for the blackout. Rookie mistake. I've unsubscribed to myself.

Great information bro am glad I found this channel thank you.

[@valerioventura]

Thank you. Go ahead re-subscribe to yourself you deserve it.

[@braddain7799]

Do you know any financing for owner builders? I own the land, drew the plan and I just need a bunch of grands!

[@RollerCoasteraddict]

Bro, can you write a list of these steps, No way I can keep track ... So much bs just to build a tiny home ...

[@JohnSmith-kx8lu]

This is the most informative Tiny house video ever. Anyone can build a Tiny House with the thousands of videos, but breaking ground can absolutely cripple your budget.

[@imagesinla8575]

This information is GOLD! I love this topic.

[@davisholman6518]

I am considering a piece of property in Maricopa County on a county island between Scottsdale & Fountain Hills, Arizona.🌵😎🏘 Hoping it isn’t as expensive as California....🤑

[@plentyofpalegg6323]

THANK YOU for creating this video! I've been scouring youtube, reddit, forums for the longest time trying to find answers for permitting in Joshua tree. Now here you are summing everything up in a video. You da best.

[@Robuilt]

Hey, I'm just glad I could help in some way! I spent countless nights researching this stuff, and it was so tedious. Glad to pass this on to anyone looking to do the same :)

[@faltonito]

Dude. You cracked my fiancé and I up, and you answered like ALL of the questions I couldn’t find the answer for. You uploaded this at the PERFECT TIME for me. Thank you!!

[@Robuilt]

Man, thanks for that. It legitimately brings me joy when people think I'm funny. Just trying to make permitting not boring haha.

[@faltonito]

[@esperanzamunoz6719]

Today is the first time I've seen your awesome video! Do you go over some Tiny Home affordable and reliable builders? One day I would like to have one on a Tiny House community. Hopefully in San Diego.

[@teressacooks7928]

Wow!! In awe after hearing all that goes on before one can even break ground!! R.E.S.P.E.C.T!! 👍

[@Guccithreat]

Going up to Joshua tree this week to check out lots! Also these videos are super professional and fun to watch I have ADD I usually move on once people bore me your videos keep me engaged and are straight forward 💯

[@Guccithreat]

A Oh worth it

[@marksinclair6211]

How much did the permits cost all together? Would love to see a breakdown between each property.

[@Nicolewhitney02]

Did you ever find out ?

[@justmeonu-tube1574]

From what he said, anywhere from $15,680 to $36,680, depending on whether water meter is available.

[@Handle2015]

This is the first video I have seen that tells the steps before you break ground. This video is great. I would like to see a video on the steps to general contracting your own small home. Thanks for the great video.

[@gartesian]

Thank you for talking about the permit process. This is the less fashionable side of real estate that many don't talk about. I wish more people showed the not-so-fun / dark side of tiny homes and short term rentals like you. Great job, keep up the good work!

[@juanpineda-montoya]

Rob I think this is awesome, because most videos you see are just aboout the beauty of design and freedom of living, but never about all the costs associated with planning and building, keep it up!

[@MichaelRodriguez-sn7vk]

You my MAN are a natural video guy! Good keeping this content interesting.

[@monicaabasolo6659]

I love how that spanish just rolls off your tongue!

[@weareinfinite3942]

Ok, I have four words for you: "YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR"!!! Thank you for taking the time to put this content together! I can't wait to break ground on my first project come next year! One foot in front of the other...

[@lindapindabelinda3570]

Thanks for the information. I am planning a tiny house in the county near Twentynine Palms. Your explanations are way helpful.

[@MsNaturalhairdiva]

Thanks so much for the info. I’ve been looking and admiring tiny homes for 7 years now and no one has given any info to whats need to be done and the cost associated prior to building a tiny home. Only building material and labor. This is truly an eye opener. Keep up the good work. I pray for you and your business to grow. Be blessed for sharing. I will definitely subscribe and follow. Happy building and growing!

[@rocco6757]

Ur killing it man! Keep it up! People are LOVING this content

[@sydneywilliams7736]

Favorite part of the video "hug sombody" yes!!!! People need to be reminded nowadays. Smile at someone today!!

[@danielsahnn]

Now this is the video I was looking for! As a draftsman myself I feel you when you say it can be a tedious amount of work. I’m planning to draft and design my own tiny home soon. Thanks for your information on pricing and steps. The city can be tough thing to deal with. Be nice to them and the consultants and everything will be just fine!

[@OnlyFins_]

So many permits I didn’t even think of. Great vid. Would have liked to see the overall budget of what it costs to build (materials, foundation, etc) on top of all the permit expenses.

[@aTwistedSista]

New subscriber. This info is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Nobody talks about this and it’s the most important part!!!! Thanks for making my dream of building in so cal for under $200k more approachable.

[@CeciJayo]

You have clearly done your homework! Can you do a version of this video but about the permitting for a mobile home village...? or permitting for fully solar powered off-grid tiny homes with no plumbing or electrical required? Looking forward to learning more with your videos and consultations!

[@boutiquebitcoin809]

I tried do this in los Angeles

[@WeiliXu88]

Good job explaining the nuts and bolts in the process! Many GC/prefab companies won't even mentions those steps and associated fees. One reminder, starting from 2020, photovoltaic, in many counties, is deferred but mandatory drawing for permit approval. So don't forget to get a PV trade to do the drawing too.

[@geewhiz6598]

This video was EXCELLENT! Thank you for sharing such detailed info about all the tiny home permitting steps, what’s involved with each step, the cost, the amount of time it takes, and even the order and timing one should consider to help things go more smoothly. It’s been pretty rare, in my experience, to see videos with this much solid content, delivered with no fluff! But plenty of fun humor and b-roll/funny photos. The icing on cake was how do-able you made even such a complex process seem for newbies, and the encouragement you give, explaining that it gets easier with each tiny house one gets under one’s belt. Your channel deserves to be growing as fast as it is!

[@Robuilt]

Gee whiz, that's such a nice comment. I appreciate the kind words and am always so grateful to hear when someone gets something out of my content. Making this video gave me a little PTSD, because I spent many sleepless nights trying to figure out the permitting process haha. Thanks for watching!

[@geewhiz6598]

Robuilt Haha. Well, I hope all the people you’re going to help, all the views, and the KZbin revenue can make some of that PTSD worth your while. I had NO idea how involved OR expensive it all could be.

[@bobbytechnical7932]

This is so good! Thank you! Could you also going into your process for vetting whether a lot is a good one to buy or not?

[@Robuilt]

Coming soon! This is my second most requested topic, so it is at the top of my list :)

[@JSRDesign23]

Robuilt, you explained all this like a boss!! Awesome! Happy building! Might see you in Joshua tree soon

[@camward2092]

Dude you’re growing so fast! Hell yeah

[@Robuilt]

I'm still processing all of this haha. Thanks for watch, Cam!

[@West_Coast_Ganbaru]

Literally the most informative permitting video ive been able to find

[@_Bazerka]

Im about to a build and am leaning heavily on this video to inform the steps. HERE GOES :X

[@javiletsgo]

Where are you building?

[@austinkelley3570]

yo love the channel, cant wait to see what new projects you got planned

[@vincerodriguez3820]

After listening to all that's required to build a brand new home, seems that it might be so much easier to buy an existing home & just do upgrades to it.

[@MasaMuneDenadoro]

This is the most comprehensive overview for permitting, which is the most obscure aspect of this whole process, so this is MUCH APPRECIATED.

[@josephhummel6200]

incredible amount of information - this was really cool that you just figured this all out

[@DragonHeartTree]

What a CIRCUS! You really had to jump thru hoops. Thx for the breakdown "

[@kevindutoit]

Looking forward to the new series!

[@justinb2374]

Sheesh, what a royal PITA

[@timkim999]

omg , i digged youtube and found another GEM here again

[@arturotalavera5994]

You only help people with tiny homes or with bigger homes I found this video very helpful sr good job ...

[@maryo.9163]

I don't know if I will ever build a tiny home but heck if I didn't thoroughly enjoy that! Very well-layered, and gives a real perspective on how complicated the process of building can be. It's videos like this, from conscientious KZbinrs like you that make informative videos worthwhile and, well, what they're supposed to be, informative. Thank you so much and keep making these honest and chock-full-of-information diy videos. They are very helpful, and the occasional dry joke is appreciated...Oh, and good luck with all those cool upcoming projects as you continue to build your empire! 🙂

[@AndreNiemeyer]

Thanks for putting this video together. Incredibly informative and really inspirational helping answer a lot of the questions about building your own tiny home.

[@JosephRoyalReacts]

Thank you for posting this. My goal is to create a Airbnb community of the tiny homes on one property in LA. But your video is a real eye opener. 🙏🏾

[@OutdoorAesthetics]

Why abnb when la has a huge housing crisis and people want places to rent or buy at affordable pricing? And Airbnb screws up the renting and housing prices and takes land and building off the market which aren’t used most of the time and overall hurt the market

[@danielboomson]

Do You Joseph!! Don't let negativity enter your dreams . I plan On doing the same thing in the desert 🙌

[@CelesteAnise]

@@danielboomson Me too. I want to build a glamping village

Thanks you Rob you are on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥and I appreciate you giving us all the GOLD. Have a bless day

[@Amy_allen00]

How much for the consultation? I have alot of questions for the airstream so far my conclusion is its illegal and i will have to do it off grid

[@adriannecapretto6132]

Love your content, and humor

[@MsLkane]

This video was very helpful! Most videos are on building the homes and the decor. Very few focus on the REAL details a future owner needs to know...especially for SoCal.

[@Joshuatreelocal]

You are the man dude. So helpful 🤙

[@mel2006anie]

Ty so much for your videos!!! Your so entertaining too!

[@roler1973]

Tu información es muy ilustrativa, definitivamente ayuda muchísimo para tener una muy buena idea de detalles que hay que cuidar tanto para mantener el costo más bajo posible como para hacer todo en el menor tiempo posible. Muchas gracias Rob. Saludos Roger Erosa.

[@norcalpinoy9618]

In the Philippines there is no zoning code especially in rural areas. You can just buy a piece of land and build whatever you like. There's no hassle at all and it's not over overregulated. We built our house without getting a permit to build..we dug the ground for water well since our house is on the river bank . It is easy as that....it's interesting that everything here in California has to be regulated from weeds, plants, around your house and what you can have and can't have. We only pay a little tax for the land like every 10 years or so..and the home or house has no yearly tax. You can even have many animals around the house as many as you want.. unlike here it's like 5 chicken per 1/2 acre or other small animals or 1 horse per 1/2 acre..that's surprising to me...we don't have to pay for the water or anything except for the electricity. Here it's like you're gonna be broke before you even start a project if you dont have enough money.

[@swatisquantum]

That’s the point. They created a moat around the new construction industry so only the rich can build and not the mom and pop owners. They make it hard for the small owner builders so that you pay into their pyramid scheme.

[@SundayVibesmusic]

Lol loved the Graham Stephan edit😂😂 if you get it you get it

[@youarehere1251]

You are a gifted comedian.

[@beautymore9386]

I kinda want to move in a tiny house... Move to a tiny house and have a smart car, great adorable combination 😂😂😂🥺

[@jakea6837]

Awesome video, as usual. Sorry you’re getting those irrational haters commenting. So much of that is just envy and jealousy. Ignore them and keep rocking on!!

[@Flossyfay]

This is so epic. You are also hilarious.

[@irmarivas7603]

Aw, thank you so much. I appreciate that. And welcome!

[@luisdaniel7671]

Love tiny homes ! Gracias saludos desde Orlando fl💪🏽✌🏻😷

[@SarahWRah]

Overall you did a great job on the nitty gritty of front end costs. Most people have no idea of how much you have to spend before lumber and materials are delivered - especially in Calif. Did I miss something, or did you forget to mention sewer or septic hookups? You also should mention wild-fire issues that affect code requirements in many counties.

[@kathrynizquierdo-gallegos874]

LOL “you don’t have to watch the ads” Fun as always! Great job!

[@englishrose4388]

This was absolutely helpful, and realistic, thank you.

Like your design

Land of the Fee, Home of the Slave(that one is a bit of a stretch but you get the point)

[@caramocha009]

Very detailed. Thinking of going through the same process. Thank you!

[@sunrisechicana]

Yay!!!! I’m in the HD trying to own my own tiny house!!!!

[@cbformula]

I love all your videos but for me this one was the most useful. If you can make a list from #1 to whatever you ended up with in your description, that will be SUPER helpful to follow. Or have a visual of it in the video next time. Im taking notes and numbers arent lining up ;)

[@dudateam]

Learning something new about you and this awesome channel 👏 😀 🙌

[@valerioventura]

Fantastic video. I drove by the Mariposa site, it's great.

[@leilaamina1876]

Thank you so much this is super helpful and made the process so much more accessible!

[@niccolealdrich4890]

Thanks for the information! I don't live in CA but I'm sure much of this applies where I am. Keep up the content! Tyfs

[@heatherweber531]

This is all really amazing information. My question is how many of these steps can be bi-passed if you are having a tiny house built and brought in and how much will you be saving? Are you saying school fees? what the H is that? Have you found that these steps are consistent for all your airbnb locations?

[@maxtodorov7246]

Great video. This was super educational. Great material! Thank you!

[@GBnHawaii]

Another great video Rob!

[@davem8456]

Dude this is so freaking helpful. Thanks for making these videos

[@jamieshawndehner6760]

PTSD, haha! Permitting can be a bear sometimes. Your good attitude carried you through, believe me...believe me!

[@deltacuz12]

YOU ARE A HERO. GREAT VIDEO!!! SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU MAN!

[@flowersfromh-evanlakshmi7577]

Thank you for the information

[@sterlingsmith9306]

Hey Rob! Do you have a tiny house/AirBNB course yet or on the way? I’d be (I’m sure I’m not the only one) really interested getting a step by step of how to get started. Also, love the videos, quality genuine work.

[@Robuilt]

I appreciate that and I'm flattered that you'd ask! I don't have on the way-yet. It seems like enough people are interested though, so I am leaning towards doing it! I am definitely going to write an e-book!

[@sterlingsmith9306]

I’ll keep my eye out for the announcement on both! Keep up the great work!

[@LiizChiita]

I'm confused about the water. If I buy a lot of land that doesn't have water, how much it is to connect water and what happens if they can't?

[@breaku45]

Loved this video. Really informative. Thank you

[@BStrambo]

Great video and outstanding info! Gotta love the obligatory comments from people who can't math saying it should only cost $___ and your ruining the tiny house movement. Whatever, go build one for that then if your so smart! Better yet, try and hire someone to build that "affordable" tiny home for you for only $20k.

[@Cali415]

Bro, I have a question. What if I purchase a Tuff shed and convert that into a tiny home? They’re able to pull the permits and legally build the structure on my property. But I’d just have to get all the other work done (electrical, plumbing, etc.). Have you ever though about doing it this way? Do you think it’s a feasible idea?

[@carlosvillalta9974]

If it's still this hard I'd rather find a small fixer and flip it. Wayyyyyy to much work for a tiny home. Great info thanks!!

[@BobhulioONLINE]

I don't live in california but I feel like this is a fantastic resource nonetheless. Appreciate the attention to details. Cheers

[@nickdeuel9663]

Awesome man! Thanks again for the info....im not there yet, but one day this is gonna be crucial

[@kazuyani375]

One quick tip! If you’re going to buy land, or even build on your own land and don’t already have a property close by, it’s important to look into environmental factors! This is not just potential for natural disasters. I’m talking making sure it’s not protected land or that there are protected species nearby.

[@mram7715]

Ive seen this video at least 8 times. I’m bought my land, just submitted my plans and they just called for my perc test and soils report. Got a company and was told about 9 weeks. WHAT??! Why didn’t u give me a heads up bro? Oh wait you did. This was my “you had one job Carl!” moment. 😢

[@journeysbyfaith2473]

Very informative.

[@tacosforlife1]

You are killing it keep it up love the channel🤙

[@frankcastle3827]

I would honestly just build a home away from any city, pretty much in no man's land, no taxes, rent, ect... get lighting from solar panels and fresh water from a near by lake with a filter!

[@Roh_elle05]

Can you make a video examples for what area in California that you can build your tiny home? Also, if you were to have tiny home due to waste and water use can you use a septic tank can be connected to the tiny home? And also, which one is affordable shipping containers as your tiny home or an actual tiny home that’s made by woods and bricks?

[@tanishagainer5818]

I found your ADU information. Very informative.

[@MagicJumpingBean]

I wish I could find this information for Arizona

[@reyessuarez4978]

Good information thank you!! I’m looking to do this in Tennessee!!
