Full Breakdown

Cedar Park Code of Ordinances § 17.04.015 makes it unlawful to place or position any personal property in a location or manner that obstructs any portion of a sidewalk or interferes with the flow of traffic on a public roadway. This covers furniture, merchandise displays, trash containers, construction materials, and any other item left blocking pedestrian or vehicle passage. The Chief of Police or a designee, or any peace officer with jurisdiction in the City, may remove violating property without prior notice to the owner. The rule applies citywide within Cedar Park's corporate limits and sits alongside the City's parking and right-of-way regulations in Chapter 17.

Violations & Fines

Blocking personal property is subject to immediate removal by police without notice; because § 17.04.015 sits in Article 17.04, a violation is also a Class C misdemeanor under § 1.01.009.
