The information below is from the City of Dallas Codes. If you violate these codes, you could be subject to citations by the City. The City does cruise the neighborhood from time to time and will issue citations for any violations. The City informs us that they are going to issue citations instead of warnings so be alert to the proper pickup dates. Watch for the EWHA pickup sign reminders for times to put your trash out.
Bulk Trash
Bulk trash is collected the first FULL week of each month and is not to be placed at the curb prior to the THURSDAY of scheduled collection week. Please store it elsewhere until the proper time. Call 311 to schedule collection of large amounts of tree trimmings in between regular Bulk Trash pickups and to obtain their fees.
Dog Restrictions
The City of Dallas regulations state if you walk your dog, you MUST carry clean-up materials. If your dog defecates on someone else's property, you are to clean it up immediately.
Fences, Trees, and Shrubs
Fences are to be in good repair, able to stand alone and may not infringe on public access. Trees and shrubs may not infringe on public access. Dead trees are not to pose a possible harm to the public.
Trash
Accumulation of trash or waste building materials is not allowed anywhere on the property (this attracts rats).
Vehicle / Boat
A vehicle may not be parked on the street with expired license and/or inspection sticker, or in a wrecked or non-operating condition (such as flat tires) for more than 45 days. Boats cannot be stored in the front yard of residences.
Yard Maintenance
Grass and weeds are not to exceed 12 inches in height.
Dallas Dog Leash Ordinance: Chapter 7, Section 29
A person who harbors a dog must restrain the dog in a fenced yard or in an enclosed structure, or by a leash.
