In most unincorporated Larimer County zoning districts the maximum building height is 40 feet. Agricultural structures may exceed that by up to 20 feet, and height exceptions may apply for certain features.
The Land Use Code caps building height at 40 feet across the conservation, agricultural, rural, and most residential and mixed-center districts. A note allows agricultural structures to exceed the 40-foot limit by up to 20 feet. Some commercial and industrial districts differ slightly (for example, industrial-light at 45 feet and one commercial-destination district at 50 feet). Height exceptions may apply for certain architectural or mechanical features under §2.9.5. Detached accessory structures are separately limited by the building code: exempt sheds keep a maximum 10-foot eave height and 12-foot average roof height. Cities within the county set their own height limits under home rule.
Exceeding the district height limit without an approved height exception or variance is a Land Use Code violation checked during plan review and inspection.
