Euless limits single-family dwellings to 35 feet or 2.5 stories in most SF districts, with commercial heights set by district up to 60 feet or more along SH-183 and other corridors.
Euless, Texas regulates building height through Chapter 82 of the Code of Ordinances. Single-family residential districts (SF-1, SF-2, SF-3) limit principal dwellings to a maximum of 35 feet or 2.5 stories, whichever is less. Detached accessory structures in residential zones are limited to 15 feet at the eave in most cases, with a cap around 20 feet for the roof peak depending on the district; larger accessory buildings require a Specific Use Permit. Chimneys, antennas, and mechanical equipment enclosures can extend above the principal height limit up to 10 feet if screened. Multifamily districts allow taller buildings, commonly up to 45 feet. Commercial and office districts permit 45- to 60-foot structures, and the SH-183 corridor and Glade Parks mixed-use zone allow taller structures under planned development standards. The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is immediately east of Euless, so buildings near the airport are further capped by FAA Part 77 imaginary surfaces; tall cranes or structures may need an FAA Form 7460 determination.
