Massachusetts regulates structure heights near public-use airports statewide through the Aeronautics Division, requiring permits for tall structures that may obstruct navigable airspace under MGL Chapter 90 Appendix.
Under MGL c. 90, App. 1-1 through 1-9, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation Aeronautics Division enforces airport approach protection consistent with FAR Part 77. Any structure exceeding 200 feet above ground or penetrating airport imaginary surfaces requires state airspace review and FAA Form 7460-1 filing. This authority preempts inconsistent local zoning that would permit obstructions to navigable airspace under the doctrine of state preemption in MGL c. 90 App. 1-13.
Construction halt orders, civil penalties up to $1,000 per violation under MGL c. 90 App., mandatory marking and lighting, removal of unpermitted obstructions.
