Certification Seal
Builders choosing self-regulation voluntarily submit to a series of third-party inspections on each build to obtain the Certification Seal.
NOAH Certification represents builder compliance with the NOAH Standard, which is a minimum requirement, although builders may choose to exceed these standards.
Truth & Transparency
NOAH Certification differentiates Tiny Houses as suitable for permanent, full-time or part-time residential living.
Manufacturers & Do-It-Yourselfers can build with integrity for the desired purpose of occupancy both now & the future.
Municipalities can have assurance EACH NOAH Certified Tiny House has been inspected & meets the NOAH Standard.
Everybody Wins!
The NOAH Standard & Certification present the opportunity for lenders & insurers to establish underwriting equivalence for value determinations specifically for Tiny Houses. Consumers buying & selling NOAH Certified Tiny Houses may obtain access to the Certification Seal-specific detailed inspection records.
