Unincorporated Brazoria County sets no building-height limit because Texas counties can't zone. City zoning applies: Pearland limits buildings to 35 feet in its single-family residential districts. Deed restrictions or FAA rules may add limits.
Because Texas counties lack zoning power, unincorporated Brazoria County imposes no maximum building height, though FAA rules and deed restrictions may still apply. Cities set height limits through zoning. Pearland's Unified Development Code caps building height at 35 feet across its single-family residential districts (R-1 through R-4), with higher limits allowed only in special districts such as the Spectrum mixed-use area. Other Brazoria County cities set their own limits, so confirm with your city's planning department before designing a tall structure.
City building and zoning enforcement handles height violations, typically requiring a variance. No county height penalty exists in unincorporated areas.
