Harrison County residential height limits typically 35 feet. Biloxi casino corridor allows towers up to 375+ feet (Beau Rivage is 347 ft). Keesler AFB Part 77 airspace surfaces impose FAA height restrictions near the base.
Harrison County zoning code limits residential heights to 35 feet or 2.5 stories typical. Gulfport and Biloxi allow taller structures in commercial and gaming district zones. Biloxi's Casino Gaming District permits high-rise casino-hotels — Beau Rivage stands at 347 feet (32 stories), Hard Rock Biloxi and IP Casino Resort are similarly tall. FAA 14 CFR Part 77 imperils airport imaginary surfaces around Keesler AFB and Gulfport-Biloxi International, requiring Form 7460-1 filing for any structure over 200 feet or structures exceeding the Part 77 slopes (typically 100:1 horizontal extending outward from runways). Hurricane wind load requirements under 2015 IBC and ASCE 7 impose additional engineering limits on tall structures. Height measured from average finished grade or, in FEMA VE zones, from Base Flood Elevation. Variances require Board of Adjustment or, for coastal overlay, MS Department of Marine Resources coordination.
Exceeding height without variance: stop-work order plus $500 to $5,000 fines. FAA Part 77 violation: federal penalties, potential obstruction marking requirements. Keesler airspace violation: DoD involvement.
