Local rules
Lakeway's outdoor lighting rules in plain English
Lakeway adopted Dark Skies regulations in 2023. The city's summary says new outdoor lighting should be shielded, use lamps under 3000 K, and, on residential property, be dimmed at least 30% or turned off from midnight until an hour before daylight.
The same city page lists low-intensity light strings and ornamental lighting as exempt. We haven't confirmed whether a permanent eave system qualifies as ornamental. Ask the City of Lakeway and your POA before you plan late-night color.

This is a plain-language summary of public documents as of Oct 11, 2026. It isn't legal advice, and Starie's makes no promise about compliance. Rules change, so confirm the current requirements with the city before you install.
HOAs and deed restrictions
Lakeway property owners' associations and architectural committees review exterior lighting. Get their approval along with any city requirements.

Around Lakeway
Lake Travis living
Lake Travis borders Lakeway, and it's one of the LCRA reservoirs on the Colorado River. Homes that face the water usually have long rooflines, and owners often want an everyday look that holds up when seen from across the lake.

FAQ
Lakeway questions, answered
Do I need to dim my lights after midnight in Lakeway?
The city's Dark Skies summary says residential outdoor lighting should be dimmed at least 30% or turned off from midnight until an hour before daylight. It also lists exemptions for some ornamental lighting. Confirm with the city how that applies to your system. Pixel Dancer's scheduler can handle a midnight change either way.
Can I still do holiday colors in Lakeway?
Pixel Dancer can show holiday colors. Whether and when you can run them is covered by the city's code and your POA, so check with both first.
