San Angelo's semi-arid climate favors drought-tolerant natives and xeriscaping. Texas Property Code §202.007 voids HOA bans on drought-resistant landscaping and water-conserving turf, though HOAs may require a plan for aesthetic review.
San Angelo does not mandate native plants for private yards, but its reservoir-dependent, semi-arid setting makes drought-tolerant natives, xeriscape, and low-water turf practical and encouraged for conservation. Texas Property Code §202.007 makes void any HOA covenant that prohibits a property owner from using drought-resistant landscaping or water-conserving natural turf. Associations retain the right to require an owner to submit a detailed landscaping description or plan for review and approval, to keep reasonable aesthetic compatibility with the subdivision. The city's tiered watering rules further reward low-water landscaping.
An HOA cannot ban drought-resistant landscaping outright; such covenants are void under §202.007. An association may still reject a specific plan on documented aesthetic-compatibility grounds through its review process.
