Scott County's RR-2 Rural Residential district caps principal buildings at 35 feet under Zoning Ordinance No. 3. Detached accessory buildings scale with lot size, from 18 feet on sub-acre lots to 24 feet on large parcels.
In unincorporated townships, Zoning Ordinance No. 3 sets a 35-foot principal-building height in the RR-2 district. Detached accessory buildings scale with lot size: 18 feet under 1 acre, 20 feet from 1 to 7.99 acres, and 24 feet at 8 acres and up, with maximum floor areas rising alongside (1,000 sq ft under an acre to 6,000 sq ft on 15-plus acres). Existing or approved agricultural buildings verified through tax records are exempt. Cities including Shakopee and Prior Lake set their own height limits. Exceeding a limit requires a variance from the Board of Adjustment.
An over-height structure fails zoning review and must be lowered to the district limit or granted a variance before a permit or certificate of occupancy issues.
