Denton County has no weed abatement ordinance. Texas counties lack property maintenance authority. TDA manages noxious weeds under TX Ag Code Chapter 71.
Unincorporated Denton County does not have a weed ordinance, noxious plant list, or abatement program. Texas law does not give counties general ordinance power over property maintenance or vegetation. The Texas Department of Agriculture maintains a state noxious weed list under Texas Agriculture Code Chapter 71 that authorizes the TDA Commissioner to order destruction of certain invasive species, but this is exercised at the state level and rarely directed at individual residential properties. Common invasive species in Denton County include Johnsongrass, giant ragweed, and various thistles. The Denton County AgriLife Extension Office provides free weed identification and management guidance. Cities within the county (Denton, Lewisville, The Colony, Little Elm, etc.) enforce weed ordinances with typical 10-day notice-to-abate requirements and city-performed mowing with lien on the property. These city rules do not reach unincorporated land.
No county weed violations. TDA noxious weed orders carry penalties up to $10,000 per day but are rarely enforced against individuals. City weed abatement costs typically $250-$500 per mowing, assessed as a lien.
