Williamson County sets no setback rules. Texas counties have no zoning power. Only subdivision platting under Local Government Code Chapter 232 applies, and in platted subdivisions HOA deed restrictions set the front, side, and rear yards.
Texas counties cannot zone, so Williamson County imposes no minimum front, side, or rear setbacks in unincorporated areas near Georgetown, Hutto, and Leander. The county's only land-use control is subdivision platting under Local Government Code Chapter 232, which governs how a tract is divided, not where a house sits on a lot. Yard setbacks come from recorded HOA deed restrictions and subdivision plat notes. Inside city limits, municipal zoning applies instead. Floodplain management adds building limits near waterways such as Brushy Creek and the San Gabriel River.
The county cannot cite a setback violation in unincorporated areas because none exist. HOAs enforce deed-restriction setbacks through civil action, fines, and liens, not county code enforcement.
