Showing ordinances that apply to Paloma Creek South, TX
Paloma Creek South is an unincorporated community (population 9,539) in Denton County, Texas. Because Paloma Creek South is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code.

Denton County has no landscaping requirements. TX Property Code 202.007 protects drought-resistant native plants from HOA bans. No county permits needed.
Unincorporated Denton County does not impose landscaping requirements, plant species restrictions, or turf mandates. Property owners may landscape with any plants or maintain natural vegetation. Texas Property Code 202.007 restricts HOAs from prohibiting drought-resistant landscaping and xeriscaping, providing protection for homeowners who choose native plants over conventional turf grass. Common native species suited to Denton County's blackland prairie and cross timbers ecology include little bluestem, Indiangrass, sideoats grama, purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan, Texas sage, and Possumhaw holly. The Denton County Master Gardener program through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension provides free guidance on native plant selection for local soil types (mostly Houston Black clay in the east and sandy loam in the western cross timbers). Native plant landscapes can reduce water use by 50-75% compared to conventional St. Augustine or Bermuda turf, an important consideration in drought-prone North Texas.
No county landscaping violations. HOAs that prohibit drought-resistant landscaping may violate Texas Property Code 202.007 and face legal challenge.
