No local beekeeping permit required in Flower Mound. TX Agriculture Code Ch. 131 (TAIS) governs disease control and interstate hive movement. HOA covenants may independently restrict apiaries.
Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 131 establishes the statewide framework for apiary regulation through the Texas Apiary Inspection Service (TAIS). Hobby beekeepers maintaining hives on their own residential property are not required to register with TAIS, though registration is encouraged for disease notification purposes. Commercial apiaries and any hives moved across county lines or state borders require TAIS registration, health certificates, and applicable fees. Flower Mound does not have a specific beekeeping ordinance restricting colony counts or imposing municipal permits. General nuisance provisions in the Code of Ordinances apply if hives create health or safety hazards for neighbors. Beekeepers should maintain adequate water sources on-site and orient hive entrances away from neighboring properties and pedestrian paths. HOA deed restrictions in many Flower Mound subdivisions (Bridlewood, Canyon Falls, Wellington) may independently restrict or prohibit apiaries regardless of municipal permissiveness.
