What sellers advertise in 2026
These are the sellers' own published starting prices. Sizes, inclusions and whether the home is on wheels differ, so compare like with like.

The gap is huge because "tiny home" covers everything from a basic cabin to a fully built, code-compliant house.
Costs on top of the price
- Delivery. Within the road limits (2.5 m wide, 4.3 m high) no transport permit is needed. Bigger loads need a Main Roads permit, and loads 4.3 m or higher also need Western Power's authorisation ($120 online in the Perth network). Homes built interstate add long-distance transport.
- Site work. A level pad, and for a fixed home, engineered footings.
- Connections. Power, water and sewer or septic, by licensed trades.
- Approvals. See below.
Approval costs
On wheels: no building permit. To live in it for more than 5 nights you need council approval under the caravan rules, for up to 24 months at a time. Fees vary by council; the Shire of Mundaring, for example, offers a $73 preliminary check.
Fixed on footings: a building permit, with the same state fees as any house. For an uncertified application (BA2) the permit is 0.32% of the value, plus the Building Services Levy (0.137% over $45,000) and the Construction Training Fund levy (0.2% over $100,000).
| Value of the home and work | Permit (BA2) | Building Services Levy | CTF levy | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $80,000 | $256.00 | $109.60 | Not payable | $365.60 |
| $120,000 | $384.00 | $164.40 | $240.00 | $788.40 |
| $192,800 | $616.96 | $264.14 | $385.60 | $1,266.70 |
A fixed tiny home must meet the building code, including energy efficiency, and a bushfire report if the lot is bushfire-prone. Planning approval is extra if it doesn't meet the standard rules.
Before you buy
- Decide wheels or fixed first; it changes the approvals and what the home must meet. Compare them.
- If it will be fixed, ask the builder in writing whether it's designed to the National Construction Code.
- Check your council's rules before paying a deposit.
