In unincorporated Collier County, single-family homes in the RSF districts may be up to 35 feet tall. Estates (E) lots are limited to 30 feet, and Rural Agricultural (A) allows 35 feet. Spires, chimneys, flagpoles, and antennas are exempt from the height cap.
LDC Section 4.02.01, Table 2 sets maximum building heights for principal uses by district. RSF-1 through RSF-6 single-family districts allow up to 35 feet; the Estates (E) district is limited to 30 feet; Rural Agricultural (A) allows 35 feet. Commercial districts such as C-1 through C-5 generally allow greater heights. Height limitations do not apply to church spires, belfries, cupolas, and domes not intended for human occupancy, monuments, transmission towers, chimneys, smokestacks, flagpoles, masts, and antennas. Parapets on a flat roof may not exceed 5 feet at their highest point. Height is defined and measured under the LDC's building-height provisions and district standards.
Exceeding the district height limit can result in permit denial, a required variance, or Code Enforcement action requiring the structure be brought into compliance.
