Conroe does not have a specific light trespass ordinance. Excessive outdoor lighting that creates a nuisance condition may be addressed under the general nuisance provisions of Chapter 26, Sec. 26-33. Texas HB 4150 limits local authority over outdoor lighting regulations.
Without a dedicated outdoor lighting ordinance, Conroe addresses light trespass complaints under the general nuisance framework of Chapter 26, Sec. 26-33. Light trespass occurs when lighting is directed onto neighboring property where it is unwanted. While there are no specific lumen or footcandle limits in the code, persistent lighting that interferes with neighbors' use of their property may be considered a nuisance. The Code Enforcement Division at (936) 522-3613 handles nuisance complaints. Texas HB 4150 (2021) restricts Conroe from adopting new specific outdoor lighting regulations.
Persistent light trespass may be addressed as a nuisance under Chapter 26, Sec. 26-33.
