Have questions about your new tiny home?
Here are the answers to the most common questions we get.
What's the difference between an ADU and a Tiny House on Wheels?
Do I have to pay a deposit?
When you’re ready to move forward with your Piccola Tiny Home purchase you will need to send a $1000 deposit through Stripe in order to get your Piccola Tiny Home on our production schedule. Stripe is one of the most trusted online payment processors and your deposit is 100% refundable for any reason before production on your Piccola Tiny Home begins. To request a refund, email us at thrive@piccolatinyhomes.com.
To pay your deposit, simply click on any of the “Reserve Now” buttons on this site. You will be taken to a page on Stripe’s website to enter your information and submit your payment. We’ll respond with an estimated build date for your Piccola Tiny Home. Please understand that this $1000 is to save your spot in our build schedule. This $1000 will be applied to the amount of your initial payment. Your initial payment is usually 50% of the total cost of your Piccola Tiny Home and needs to be paid in full before production can begin. A payment for the remaining 50% is required before delivery of your Piccola Tiny Home can be scheduled. Please reach out to us if you have any questions regarding the deposit or payments.
Do you have financing available?
We are currently setting up financing with trusted banks who know what and how Tiny Homes on wheels are used which will allow us to get better rates for our customers.
Where can I park my Piccola Home?
Depending on your location there are certain requirements that must be met before parking and living in your tiny home. The Tiny House Industry Association (THIA) has an amazing page where you can check your local rules and regulations. There are more cities and counties being added to this list everyday so keep checking back to see updates!
If your local government does not allow tiny homes on wheels consider becoming a Tiny Home Advocate with the THIA!
