Mohave County caps building height by zoning district under its Zoning Ordinance. Residential and rural zones such as A-R, R-E, and R-O limit structures to 35 feet, measured to the highest point of the roof.
Mohave County limits building height through the Zoning Ordinance rather than leaving it unregulated on unincorporated land. Residential and rural-residential districts, including the agricultural-residential A-R zone, generally cap structures at 35 feet. Height is measured from grade to the highest point of the structure, and customary projections such as chimneys, antennas, and mechanical equipment are handled separately. Commercial and industrial districts may allow greater height. Added height requires a variance from the Board of Adjustment. Near the Kingman, Lake Havasu, or Laughlin/Bullhead airport approaches, federal FAA airspace limits can also apply. Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Bullhead City set their own height limits within city limits.
Exceeding the district height limit violates the Zoning Ordinance. Development Services can deny permits and require the structure be lowered. Added height needs a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
