Orland Park limits residential structure height to approximately 35 feet (or 2.5 stories) in most single-family zoning districts. Accessory structures are limited to 15 feet, and commercial heights vary by district.
Structure height limits in Orland Park are set by the Land Development Code by zoning district. Single-family residential zones (R-1 through R-4) typically cap principal structures at 35 feet or 2.5 stories, measured from average grade to the midpoint of a sloped roof or the top of a flat roof. Accessory structures including detached garages and sheds are generally limited to 15 feet or one story. Multi-family (R-5, R-6) and commercial districts have higher limits scaled by lot size and proximity to residential. Mechanical equipment, chimneys, antennas, and architectural features may exceed the height limit by limited amounts. Telecommunications towers are regulated separately. Properties subject to HOA covenants may have stricter private height limits enforced through architectural review.
Building exceeding height limits: stop-work order, required modification or removal, fines $250-$1,000 per day until compliant.
