TINY home enthusiasts have been on the lookout for new places to pitch their properties.
The town of Spur, Texas, calls itself the country's first friendly town to tiny homes.
According to the 2020 Census, there are 863 residents in the West Texas town.
Due to the vast amount of land and the town's desire to grow a self-sufficient community, tiny homes became a market to tap into.
The town's website, Spur Freedom stated: "We propose that tiny houses in small towns yield even more freedom and offer a unique opportunity to regain a sense of community and self-sufficiency."
It came after the town acknowledged that prices in big cities for basic living expenses are now "unbearable for many of their citizens."

So, in 2014, the city council passed a resolution that declared Spur America's first tiny house-friendly town for people to come and construct their dream homes regardless of size.
It comes after a number of tiny home residents have found themselves evicted due to complex red tape linked to zoning laws and codes.
Since then, over 70 lots have been sold to people hoping to build their own homes.
The only rule implemented by officials is that the homes "feature wood or metal framing, [have] flush toilets connected to city utilities, and that the electrical work is properly done."

The website stated: "A simple (and free) permitting process will establish that your house design meets structural safety requirements."
The push to bring in people with their own tiny homes comes after a drain on the town saw much of its population move to the big cities, leaving behind empty buildings and lots.
If you are wondering if this is the right decision for you, The Big Spur Micro Cabin is available to rent.
The 150-square-foot home is made out of concrete and has a fully-functioning kitchen, a loft that sleeps two, Wi-Fi, and a bathroom.
Rent for the micro cabin begins at $500 per month with a 12-month lease, and short-term rental information can be requested.
One man made the move to Spur to live in his 84-square-foot tiny home.

Conor McCann did the entire move including the land and other fees for $47,270.26.

The town is also appealing for businesses to move to the town, especially as there is a distinct lack of jobs however, a number of people commute to work in the nearby city of Lubbock.
Spur states: "All you need to succeed in a small town is some innovative thinking and an energetic passion to see your ideas through. The American Dream is alive in Spur."
