Hernando County's zoning regulations cap building height by district, measured from grade to the roof. Near Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport, FAA airspace review and airport height limits can restrict how tall you build under flight paths.
Maximum building height in unincorporated Hernando County is set by Appendix A (Zoning) and depends on the zoning district, measured from average grade to the highest point of the roof. Residential districts keep structures low; commercial and industrial districts allow more. Near Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport (BKV), FAA obstruction review under 14 CFR Part 77 and airport-zone height limits can cap height below what the district alone allows. Chimneys, antennas, and rooftop equipment get limited exemptions. Anything taller than allowed needs a variance from the county.
Exceeding the height limit brings a stop-work order and a required reduction or variance. A structure that penetrates airport height surfaces near BKV can also trigger an FAA obstruction finding.
