GHMC Building Height Limits: G+3 to G+6 Residential Norms & Fire NOC Requirements
Spoken by: AGNAA Permitting & Regulatory Team
Primary Reference: GHMC Building Rules 2012 & GO Ms 168 Amendments
Direct Answer (AGNAA Engineering Standard)
Under GHMC Building Rules, permissible building height is directly tied to abutting road width. A 9m (30 ft) road permits up to 12m (G+3) construction. A 12m (40 ft) road permits up to 15m (G+4). Buildings exceeding 15m height require mandatory Telangana Fire Services NOC before permit issuance. AGNAA Design Studio manages the full permitting workflow.
Executive Key Takeaways
- 9m road: Maximum permissible height 12m (Ground + 3 Floors).
- 12m road: Maximum permissible height 15m (Ground + 4 Floors).
- 18m road: Maximum permissible height 18m (Ground + 5 Floors).
- Buildings above 15m require Telangana Fire Services NOC before construction.
- Stilt parking floor does not count toward permissible height in GHMC limits.
