Toilet Height. Whereas the height of a standard toilet is 17 inches or lower -- 14 1/2 inches is a common height -- the ADA guidelines mandate a distance between 17 and 19 inches from top of the seat to the floor on a handicap-accessible toilet. If the toilet is for use by children, the height must be from 11 to 17 inches. Many toilet manufacturers sell comfort models that conform to this height guideline, but if replacing your toilet isn't in your budget, you can increase the height of your standard toilet with an elevated seat.
