Cedar Park FAQ
Can my HOA require me to keep grass instead of installing natives?
No. Tex. Property Code §202.007 voids covenants that prohibit drought-resistant landscaping, though the HOA may require you to submit a landscape plan and choose plants consistent with neighborhood standards.
How do I get the LCRA turf rebate?
You must apply for preapproval before removing turf, follow the LCRA WaterSmart guidelines, and submit receipts. The City of Cedar Park's Rebates & Resources page links to the LCRA portal.
