Many building codes require that "habitable" structures be at least 1200 square feet (check your local codes, your mileage may vary) and a 200 square foot tiny home doesn't qualify. The website Clothesline Tiny Homes has a great entry on how to do it.
Some considerations.....
Are there minimum square footage requirements for homes? If not, you could possibly build a tiny house on a permanent foundation.
Are you allowed to park an RV on your property? Without a main permanent dwelling? And are you allowed to live in it full time?
If you are looking for a guest house, office or studio, does your zoning code allow for accessory dwellings? And are there minimum square footage requirements? Do they have to be on a permanent foundation?
Most folks build their tiny home on a trailer platform, because being mobile means they are exempt from building and zoning codes.
