Frisco, TX Building Setbacks & Zoning: Structure Height Limits (2026)

04, the Residential Districts Development Standards Chart, sets a single Maximum Height Feet/Stories row that runs across every residential zoning district. 5 stories. The TH Townhome District is capped at 40 feet and 2 stories. The MF-15 and MF-19 multifamily districts are each capped at 50 feet, with no story limit stated. The MH Manufactured Home District is capped at 20 feet. 18 Alternative Compliance Standards for any alternative setback or height sought outside these baseline numbers. 05 Special Height Regulations carves out exceptions for specific uses rather than districts: water standpipes and tanks, church steeples, domes and spires, public and private school buildings, and public/semi-public institutional buildings may exceed two stories, provided one additional foot is added to the width and depth of the front, side, and rear yards for every foot the structure exceeds two stories.

05(B) lets ornamental features (towers, spires, steeples, and cupolas) in nonresidential districts exceed the maximum building height if they contain no floor area and the required setbacks are increased two feet for every foot of excess height. Both the base height chart and the exceptions were adopted or last amended under Ordinance 2021-07-47 (July 6, 2021), building on Ordinance 19-10-82 (October 1, 2019) for the special height regulations.
