League City is not a certified Dark Sky Community and has not adopted a comprehensive dark sky ordinance. Texas SB 2296 (2021) restricts municipal authority to regulate outdoor lighting unless the municipality is IDA-certified or was seeking certification before the law took effect.
League City does not have a standalone dark sky ordinance. The UDC includes general exterior lighting standards for commercial and multifamily developments, but residential outdoor lighting is not specifically regulated. Texas SB 2296 enacted in 2021 limits municipalities from regulating outdoor lighting unless they are certified as Dark Sky Communities by the International Dark-Sky Association.
No specific dark sky enforcement. General nuisance provisions may apply to excessive commercial lighting affecting residential areas.
