Pasadena has no specific beekeeping ordinance. Texas state law under TX Agriculture Code Ch. 131 governs beekeeping statewide. Bees are regulated as livestock and beekeepers may register with the Texas Apiary Inspection Service.
Pasadena does not have a local beekeeping ordinance. As a non-zoned city, there are no zoning-based restrictions on keeping bees. Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 131 governs beekeeping statewide and preempts local bans on beekeeping in most circumstances. The Texas Apiary Inspection Service (TAIS) provides voluntary registration and inspects for disease. Beekeepers should maintain hives in a manner that does not create nuisance conditions for neighbors. Bees creating a public safety hazard may be addressed under general nuisance provisions. Subdivision deed restrictions may separately restrict or prohibit beekeeping.
No specific beekeeping penalties. Nuisance conditions may be enforced under general nuisance provisions with fines up to $2,000.
