Moving to Round Rock: who to call and what the city asks.

Round Rock is in Williamson County and also extends into Travis County. Year-round water use standards are in effect, and lawn irrigation follows the Watering Schedule and must occur before 10:00 a.m. or after 7:00 p.m. The City's drought rules apply to all Round Rock water customers, including residents in Municipal Utility Districts outside the city limits. Separately, deed restrictions set by a homeowners association are private contracts that the City does not enforce.

Resident parking in Lake Creek West and Plantation Cove

Two areas have on-street parking restricted to neighborhood residents during certain hours: the Lake Creek West district near Round Rock High School and the Plantation Cove district near Old Town Elementary School.

In the Plantation Cove district, parking on the street without a valid resident or visitor permit is prohibited on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Residents apply through the City permit portal, free of charge, with vehicle registration for each vehicle and proof of residency.

Curbside carts and Republic Services bulk pickup

Garbage is collected weekly and recycling every other week. Carts must be placed at the curb before 7 a.m. on the pickup day.

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day are the only holidays that move curbside pickup.

In-City residents, whose water bill comes directly from the City, can schedule one free bulk pickup per year by calling Republic Services at 512-255-4980 one week before their regular collection day.
