Best Answer

A chimney should be at least two feet above the highest roof point. There are strict codes that govern chimney placement for fire safety reasons.

it needs to be at least 2 feet higher than any part of the roof within 10 feet of the chimney (check your local governing agency for their code)

Rough rule of thumb--the top of the chimney would be a minimum of 2' higher than the tallest roof point within ten feet.
