Height limits are municipal. Typical Westchester single-family limits range from 30-35 ft. No countywide height rule.
Most Westchester residential zones cap principal structures at 30-35 ft or 2.5 stories. Accessory structures are usually capped at 15-20 ft. Historic districts and view-protection overlays (e.g., along the Hudson) may impose stricter limits. NYS Uniform Code sets the baseline story and egress rules.
