Local rules
Rollingwood's outdoor lighting rules in plain English
Rollingwood adopted an exterior lighting ordinance (Ord. 2025-03-19-11) in March 2025. As adopted, the residential section caps color temperature at 3000 K. It does not allow lights that flash, move, blink or change in color or intensity, except seasonal decorations lit for 60 days or fewer.
String lights are treated separately. They can stay on from sunset to midnight if they are 3000 K or warmer and no brighter than 125 lumens per foot. Brighter fixtures need shielding, light at the property line is capped, and the text provides civil penalties of up to $2,000 per day.
Our reading: an everyday warm-white look on a sunset-to-midnight schedule matches the text, and color effects belong inside a seasonal window of 60 days or less. We've read the version attached to the adoption meeting, not the final codified text, so confirm with the City of Rollingwood before you install.
