Can I put a tiny home on wheels on my Redmond lot as an ADU?
✓ Verified against code · August 19, 2026
Yes — Redmond explicitly names tiny homes as an ADU type, capped at 400 sq ft, with the trailer base screened by landscaping if publicly visible. Most guides answer 'no, tiny homes on wheels are RVs' — that's the generic rule; Redmond carved an exception. This is one of the most commonly wrong AI answers we track.

How current is this?
Redmond’s ADU rules run under RZC 21.04.1110 (Redmond Zoning Code, post-Redmond 2050 restructure) (Ordinance 3220 (recodification); Ord 3261 pending codification). The Redmond 2050 restructure (Ord 3220, effective June 28, 2025) moved ADU rules from RZC 21.08.220 to RZC 21.04.1110 — any source citing the old section number predates the current code. Ordinance 3261 (adopted June 2026) amends the ADU sections further and is pending codification; we re-check on every verification pass. We verified this answer against primary sources on August 19, 2026, and every change we catch is logged in the changelog.
