Williamson County cannot zone. In unincorporated areas the county sets no home-occupation rules, so a home business faces no county location, use, or square-footage limits. Only recorded HOA or subdivision deed restrictions constrain what you run from your house.
Texas counties have no general zoning power, and the Legislature has never granted Williamson County authority to regulate land use in unincorporated areas. A home occupation therefore needs no county zoning permit, home-occupation license, or conditional-use approval. Whether you can operate is decided by private deed restrictions recorded against your subdivision, enforced by the homeowners association or neighbors in civil court, not by county government. Inside the city limits of Georgetown, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, or Taylor, that city's zoning code applies instead.
The county issues no home-occupation citations. Deed-restriction breaches are enforced by an HOA through civil suit, with injunctions ordering the business to stop and liability for the association's attorney fees.
