The answer is "tiene."
The form of the verb depends not on the object, but the subject. In this case it's "mi casa," which is singular. If it were in the plural, as in "mis casas," then the verb would be tienen.
Tienes is used only for the second person pronoun tú (you).

In your example the verb tener refers to the house, which is singular, not the floors, so you would use tiene. Subject and verb must agree, as in English. Also, tienes is used in the second person familiar.
yo tengo
tu tienes
usted, el o ella tiene
ustedes tienen

"Casa" is the subject. The subject is singular, so the verb has to agree with the subject, not with the object (floors).
"Tienes" is singular, but Spanish divides its singular conjugation of verbs into "familiar" and "formal". We don't do that in English any more (we used to). Single things, like "casa", use the formal singular (or "third-person singular") of the verb.
"Casas" would require the formal plural (or "third-person plural") form of the verb which in this case would be "tienen".
"Mis casas tienen dos pisos."

It's tiene. Tienes is the "tu" form of the tener in the present tense. It does not imply plurality.

no in this case it is still tiene
tienes would be used in this way;
Tienes un perro? ( do u have a perro)
