Anne Arundel County Code Article 18 limits residential height to 35 ft or 2.5 stories. Annapolis Historic District: 35 ft or match context. Naval Academy glide slope zones have FAA height limits.
Anne Arundel County zoning Article 18-11-114 limits building height. Residential R1, R2, R5: 35 feet maximum or 2.5 stories. Commercial and mixed-use zones allow greater heights (up to 50-75 ft). Height measured from average finished grade to highest roof point (chimneys and antennas exempt up to 10 additional feet). Annapolis Historic District Commission (HDC) reviews height within historic boundaries — new construction must be compatible with context (typically 35 ft). BWI Airport imbedded imaginary surface (FAA Part 77) restricts height in a wide radius around BWI — structures exceeding surface need FAA approval. Naval Academy approach zones similarly restricted.
Exceeding limit: stop-work, $500-$2,500. FAA/Part 77 violation: federal enforcement.
