Unincorporated Lubbock County sets no building-height limit because it cannot zone. Cities do: in the City of Lubbock's SF-2 single-family district, most single-family building types are capped at 35 feet.
As a non-zoning Texas county, unincorporated Lubbock County imposes no building-height limit; height is instead constrained by deed restrictions or airport-hazard rules. Cities set height by district and type. In the City of Lubbock's SF-2 (Low Density Single-Family) district, a single-family detached, garden-home, cottage and duplex are capped at 35 feet, and townhouses at 45 feet, under Table 39.02.004.c-2. Other districts set different maximums, and development near Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport must also meet airport-hazard height zoning. Confirm the height limit for your specific district and building type.
Cities can deny permits or require alteration of over-height structures; the county cannot limit building height on unincorporated land.
