Pinellas Park structure height limits vary by zoning district, with single-family residential districts under Section 18-1511 typically capping principal buildings at 35 feet measured per the Florida Building Code.
Pinellas Park Land Development Code Article 15 establishes maximum building heights for each zoning district. Single-family residential districts such as R-2 (Section 18-1511) generally limit principal residential buildings to 35 feet. Multi-family, commercial, and industrial districts may allow taller structures subject to additional setback or design review requirements. Building height is measured from finished grade to the highest point of a flat roof or to the midpoint of a sloped roof, per Florida Building Code conventions. Accessory structures are limited to lower heights, with sheds 200 square feet or less capped at 10 feet. Antennas, chimneys, and church steeples may exceed limits subject to specific exceptions.
Exceeding height limits requires variance approval; unauthorized over-height construction can trigger stop-work orders and required modifications.
