Unless the home is being marketed as Accessible.No size requirement for doors inside a house. Just one exterior door.

It depends on the code adopted in your jurisdiction. If its the 2015 IRC, one egress door (usually the front door) must have a "clear width" of 32" measured from the face of the door at 90 deg. to the wall and the face of the door stop. That means the minimum front door "size" is 34" as mentioned earlier.
Other doors are not restricted but in some jurisdictions the IRC is amended. In Massachusetts doors to habitable rooms must be at least 30" wide and bathrooms at least 28" wide unless they are existing in which case they can be 24" wide. That's only for one state but its a good guide.
The amendments to Chapter 3 of the 9th edition add a new subsection R311.2.1 "Interior doors".I am in mass and looked a the code before my previous post and in 2015 IRC with amendments, I did not see any minimum door width except for emergency egress doors,. can you cite chapter and verse so if I am missing something, please?
