Building height limits inside Anoka County cities are set by city zoning under Minn. Stat. §462.357. In Coon Rapids an accessory structure cannot exceed 20 feet, or the height of the principal house, whichever is lower.
Maximum structure height is a city zoning matter in Anoka County, not a county rule. In Coon Rapids, an accessory structure cannot exceed 20 feet or the height of the principal structure, whichever is the lesser of the two, and it may not exceed the height of the principal building (except on a farm tied to a farming operation). Principal-dwelling height is governed by the underlying low-density residential (LDR) district standards. Accessory structures also may not be built before the principal building, and larger ones over 200 square feet need a permanent concrete slab. Verify principal-building height with your city's planning division.
An over-height accessory structure can be denied a permit or ordered altered/removed; building an accessory structure before the principal building is expressly prohibited.
