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

Flagler County's Land Development Code sets a maximum building height of thirty-five feet for the R-1 Rural Residential district under LDC section 3.03.04.D.3, the district created to provide a transition between the agricultural and urban single-family districts for areas not served by central water and sanitary facilities. That 35-foot cap sits alongside the district's other dimensional standards: a one-acre minimum lot size, a 100-foot minimum lot width, and a 30 percent maximum lot coverage, all in the same LDC section 3.03.04.D subsection. The height limit is not uniform countywide.

The AC and AC-2 agricultural districts impose no maximum building height under LDC sections 3.03.02.D.4 and 3.03.03.D.4, reflecting their use for barns, silos and similar farm structures, while denser districts step up: the R-1b urban single-family district and the R-3 and R-3b multifamily districts also cap at 35 feet near their project perimeters but allow up to 45 feet farther from the boundary, and general commercial land in the C-2 district can reach 65 feet. A homeowner or builder in unincorporated Flagler County needs to confirm the specific zoning district before assuming the 35-foot R-1 figure applies, and the figure has no bearing on Palm Coast, Flagler Beach, Beverly Beach, Bunnell or Marineland, each of which sets its own height limits under its own code.
