Collin County is under DFW International Airport and Addison Airport airspace protection. Cities cap residential height at 35-40 ft (2.5-3 stories). Structures over 200 ft require FAA Form 7460-1 notification.
Plano Zoning limits SF residential to 35 ft or 2.5 stories. Frisco caps SF-7 at 35 ft. McKinney limits to 40 ft. Accessory structures capped at 15-18 ft in most cities. FAA Part 77 imaginary surfaces extend outward from DFW, Addison, and McKinney National Airport (TKI) runways, triggering Form 7460-1 filings for any structure over 200 ft above ground or that penetrates the conical surface. Craig Ranch and areas near TKI have tighter city overlay zones restricting crane use and tall structures. Commercial height in Legacy West and The Star allows over 100 ft by PD approval.
Height violation: city stop-work plus removal of excess. FAA violation: civil penalty up to $37,377 per day per FAA Order 2150.3C. Airspace obstruction may require lighting or demolition.
