Miramar, FL Building Setbacks & Zoning: Structure Height Limits (2026)

Table 402-2, "Single-family Residential Districts Bulk Regulations," lists maximum building height in feet for each of Miramar's eleven single-family zoning districts. 5 acres, 2 acres, and 1 acre, share the tallest allowance in the table at 40 feet. The eight smaller-lot districts, RS2 through RS8 (minimum lots running from 7,500 down to 4,000 square feet), are capped at 35 feet. The Trailer/Mobile Home Park District (T) carries the lowest ceiling in the table at 25 feet, matching its smaller 10-foot front setback and 5-foot side setback.

The "Number of Stories" row on the same table reads "N/A" for every district, meaning the Land Development Code does not separately cap story count in the single-family districts; height there is controlled solely by the foot measurement. That differs from the multi-family bulk table, Table 402-3, where the RM1 through RM4 districts are held to a uniform 35-foot maximum regardless of unit type, single-family, duplex/triplex, townhouse, or apartment, built on the site. Because the height figures sit in the same dimensional table as the district's lot size, setback, and floor-area standards, a building permit application for new construction or a vertical addition in any of these zones is checked against the applicable district's row before Building & Permitting Services issues a permit.
