Showing ordinances that apply to Shady Hollow, TX
Shady Hollow is an unincorporated community (population 4,822) in Travis County, Texas. Because Shady Hollow is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Travis County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The trash bin storage rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Trash and recycling containers must be stored out of sight from the public right-of-way between collections in Austin (§15-6-91). Unincorporated Travis County has no cart storage ordinance; HOA rules typically govern.
Austin requires carts stored behind a fence, within a garage, or on the side of the home where they are not visible from the street frontage. Visible carts may generate a code compliance notice. Most Travis County HOA communities (Steiner Ranch, Circle C, Lakeway, Bee Cave subdivisions) include deed restrictions requiring cart storage out of public view. Bear-resistant containers are not required in Travis County (black bears are rare in Central Texas). Damaged or missing city carts can be replaced by calling 3-1-1 in Austin at no charge.
