CBC: Okanagan couple faces fines, legal action over tiny home
The 225-square-foot home is equipped with a kitchen, two loft bedrooms, a small wood-burning stove and a bathroom with a shower and composting toilet. King milled a large tree on the property to build counter space in the home and a spacious deck attached to the front of the trailer.
King said only grey water from the home’s sinks goes back onto the land. He placed the tiny home on a level area on his secluded, 12-acre property which has a small creek running through it in the valley bottom.

A letter King shared with CBC News from the RDCO lays out the issues the district has with the structure.
“It does not align with the B.C. building code, CSA safety standards or land use regulations. It is neither a certified tiny home nor a CSA classified recreation vehicle,” the letter states.
“The wastewater system you are currently using is not permitted in this streamside aquatic protected area.”
