Montgomery County has no height limits in unincorporated areas. Conroe Code Ch. 90 limits SF residential to 35 ft. The Woodlands DSC enforces village-specific heights. FAA Part 77 applies near Lone Star Executive Airport (CXO) and Hooks Airport.
Texas counties cannot impose zoning height limits — Montgomery County has no authority over structure heights in unincorporated areas near Willis, Porter, New Caney, or Magnolia. Federal and state rules still apply: FAA 14 CFR Part 77 restricts structures that penetrate navigable airspace surfaces near Lone Star Executive Airport (CXO, Conroe), David Wayne Hooks Airport (DWH, near Tomball), and Bush Intercontinental (IAH, southern county reach) — Form 7460-1 notice required for tall structures; communication towers over 200 ft need FAA determination. Conroe zoning Code Ch. 90 limits single-family residential to 35 ft, 2.5 stories typical; commercial zones vary; measured from grade. The Woodlands DSC enforces covenant-based height limits — generally 35 ft residential, 2-story limit common in many villages, with roof pitch and massing restrictions. Cell towers are regulated under TX Local Govt Code §284 (co-location) and FCC Shot Clock rules.
Unincorporated over 200 ft: FAA violation fines up to $10,000+ per day. Conroe height over limit: stop-work, $250-$2,000 fines, demolition order possible. Woodlands DSC: covenant enforcement, injunction, removal.
