Update: Tiny House Forum in Smithville, TX, Yields Positive Results

10/30: Tiny House Forum was a BIG Success!

"Monday evening I represented the Tiny House Industry Association and the American Tiny House Association in Smithville, TX, a community outside Austin. A group of City Council and community members gathered to hear my presentation of tiny homes and how they could be incorporated within their community.

After a 2-hour meeting and answering many questions, the Council voted to direct the City Manager to prepare ordinances for tiny houses and movable tiny houses in their town.

The city manager has already reached out and asked our help in writing their ordinances."

-Dan Fitzpatrick, ATHA/THIA Goverment Relations Director
