Unincorporated Williamson County has no zoning and no brush-clearance or defensible-space ordinance; property owners clear vegetation at their own discretion, and burning cleared brush follows state outdoor-burning rules.
Texas counties cannot zone, and Williamson County imposes no vegetation-management or defensible-space requirement on unincorporated land. No county code compels clearing brush around homes or fences. Owners who dispose of cleared trees, brush, and grass by burning must follow the state disposal-fire rules in 30 TAC 111.209 and any active county burn ban. Recorded HOA deed restrictions, not the county, set landscaping and clearing standards inside platted subdivisions.
The county issues no penalty for uncleared brush; burning cleared vegetation during an active burn ban is a Class C misdemeanor.
