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. Instead, Denton County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The ev charging rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Denton County has no ordinance addressing electric vehicle charging in unincorporated areas. Texas Occupations Code 2157 prohibits HOAs from banning EV charger installation in owner parking spaces. Installation on private property follows standard electrical permit requirements.
Unincorporated Denton County does not regulate residential electric vehicle charging stations. Property owners may install Level 1, Level 2, or DC fast chargers on their property without county-specific permits beyond standard electrical permits. Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2157, enacted in 2021, protects homeowners in HOA-governed communities by prohibiting HOAs from banning the installation of EV charging equipment in a homeowner's dedicated parking space. The HOA may require the owner to carry liability insurance for the charger and may impose reasonable architectural guidelines for installation location and aesthetics, but cannot prevent installation outright. Electrical permits for EV charger installation are handled by the jurisdiction with authority -- in unincorporated Denton County, this may be the county or an applicable Emergency Services District depending on the location. Level 2 chargers (240V) typically require a dedicated circuit and may need a panel upgrade. Denton County Electric Cooperative and CoServ serve most unincorporated areas and may offer EV charging rate plans.
No county-level EV charging violations exist. HOAs that violate TX Occupations Code 2157 by banning EV charger installation may face legal action from homeowners. Electrical work without proper permits may result in code enforcement action.
