Henderson limits building heights based on zoning district. Residential districts generally limit structures to 35 feet. Multi-family and commercial districts allow greater heights. The development code includes specific height measurement methods and exceptions for architectural features.
Height limits vary by zoning district under Title 19. Single-family residential zones limit buildings to 35 feet. Multi-family and commercial zones may allow greater heights depending on the district. Height is measured from finished grade to the highest point of the roof. Chimneys, antennas, and mechanical equipment may have exceptions. Height variances require Board of Adjustment approval.
Exceeding height limits without a variance results in stop-work orders and required modification of the structure.
