Hollywood FL establishes maximum building heights by zoning district in the Land Development Regulations. Single-family residential zones typically limit structures to 35 feet. The barrier island (Hollywood Beach) may have specific height standards related to coastal construction. Multi-family and commercial zones allow greater heights. Accessory structures cannot exceed the district maximum. Height is measured from grade to the highest point of the roof. Variances require Board approval.
Exceeding height limits without a variance is a zoning violation. Construction may need modification.
