Building height limits in Tarpon Springs are set by zoning district under Article II of the Comprehensive Zoning and Land Development Code. Most residential districts cap structures at 35 feet; mixed-use and commercial districts allow taller buildings subject to specific overlay rules.
Structure height limits in Tarpon Springs are established by district under Article II (District Regulations) of the Comprehensive Zoning and Land Development Code. Most single-family residential districts (R-50, R-75, R-100) cap principal buildings at 35 feet measured to the mean roof height. The HBHIBUDI (Highest Building Height in Built-Up Districts) and other district-specific provisions in Section 25.12 set higher caps in certain commercial and mixed-use zones. Architectural projections such as chimneys, antennas, and steeples may extend above the limit subject to Section 36.00 supplemental rules. Variances require Board of Adjustment approval under Article XII.
Exceeding height limits without a variance leads to stop-work orders, denial of certificate of occupancy, and possible required reduction of the structure.
