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 trash bin storage rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Denton County does not have countywide trash bin storage or placement ordinances for unincorporated areas. Texas counties lack general ordinance-making authority under the Texas Constitution, so no county code regulates when bins must be brought in or where they must be stored. Waste collection in unincorporated Denton County is handled by private haulers contracted by individual property owners. HOA covenants in master-planned communities such as those near Argyle, Northlake, and Cross Roads often impose strict bin storage requirements that exceed any municipal standard.
In unincorporated Denton County there is no county ordinance governing trash bin placement, retrieval timing, or screening requirements. Property owners in unincorporated areas contract directly with private waste haulers such as Republic Services, Waste Connections, or Community Waste Disposal. Collection schedules and bin placement expectations are set by the hauler contract, not by county regulation. However, many properties in unincorporated Denton County fall within HOA-governed master-planned communities where covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) impose detailed bin rules including same-day retrieval, rear or side-yard storage, and screening enclosure requirements. The cities of Denton, Flower Mound, Lewisville, and Frisco each have their own bin ordinances for properties within their city limits. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 364 authorizes counties to regulate solid waste only in the context of illegal dumping, not routine residential bin management.
No county-level violations exist for trash bin storage in unincorporated Denton County. HOA violations are enforced through the association, typically starting with a courtesy notice, followed by fines that can range from $25 to $200 per occurrence depending on the CC&Rs. Private haulers may refuse service if bins are improperly placed or inaccessible.
