Williamson County does not regulate home-business signs in unincorporated areas. No county sign permit, size cap, or setback applies to a sign at your house. HOA deed restrictions and TxDOT rules for signs near state highways are the only limits.
Because the county lacks zoning authority, it has adopted no sign ordinance governing home occupations outside city limits. A yard or window sign advertising a home business needs no county permit and faces no county size or lighting standard. Private deed restrictions frequently prohibit or limit business signage and are enforced by the HOA in civil court. Signs placed within a state highway right-of-way fall under Texas Department of Transportation rules. Cities such as Round Rock and Georgetown enforce their own sign codes inside their limits.
No county sign citations exist in unincorporated areas. An HOA can sue to force removal of a prohibited sign; TxDOT can remove signs unlawfully placed in a state highway right-of-way.
