Pasco LDC §400 limits residential heights to 35 ft / 2.5 stories in R-1/R-2 districts. Coastal and airport overlays (Tampa Executive, Zephyrhills) further restrict per FAA Part 77 and FBC wind requirements.
Pasco County Land Development Code §400 sets maximum structure heights: R-1 and R-2 residential at 35 ft or 2.5 stories; MF-1/MF-2 multi-family 40-45 ft; C-1 commercial 45 ft; C-2 and mixed-use up to 60 ft. Height is measured from finished grade to the mean height of the highest pitched roof. Chimneys, vents, solar panels and minor rooftop equipment may extend up to 10 ft above the limit. Properties within Airport Influence Zones around Tampa Executive, Zephyrhills Municipal, and Tampa North Aero Park must comply with FAA Part 77 surfaces under LDC §531. Coastal V-zone construction must meet Florida Building Code 7th Edition (2020) Ch. 16 wind load and elevation requirements — lowest habitable floor must be above Base Flood Elevation per FEMA. PUDs negotiate alternative heights through the BCC.
Exceeding height: stop-work order and removal of overbuilt portion. Fines $250-$2,000 under Ch. 2. Airport surface violations can trigger FAA Part 77 enforcement and corrective action orders.
