Cocoa, FL Building Setbacks & Zoning: Structure Height Limits (2026)

5 acres (108,900 square feet), minimum lot width of 150 feet, minimum lot depth of 200 feet, maximum lot coverage of thirty percent, minimum living area of 1,200 square feet, and a maximum height of thirty-five feet. That thirty-five-foot ceiling, measured for the principal single-family dwelling and any accessory structure on the parcel, matches the same maximum found in the neighboring RE Residential Estate District, so the city holds its large-lot, single-family agricultural zone to the same height cap as its estate-density district even though the two differ sharply on lot size, coverage and setbacks.

Every accessory structure permitted in the RA district, from a private garage and carport to a toolhouse or greenhouse, is measured against this same thirty-five-foot limit, since the bulk table applies to the whole parcel rather than only the main house. Denser, more urban districts elsewhere in Article XI, including the commercial and institutional classifications, are allowed to build taller, up to forty-five feet in the Institutional District, so the thirty-five-foot figure reflects the city's low-density residential and agricultural tier rather than a single citywide ceiling.
