TIPS TO THRIVE IN CollegeStation
AVOID CODE VIOLATIONS
Many people don't think about city codes until they receive an unwelcome citation. Familiarize yourself with our city codes by visiting cstx.gov/CodeEnforcement.
NEVER MISS A COLLECTION DAY
Download our free College Station Curbside app to always know your recycling, trash, brush, and bulky collection days. You'll also get notified of collection changes and can set reminders, report issues, and more.
MEET YOUR NEIGHBORS
Introduce yourself and exchange contact information in case of emergencies or other problems. After all, if an issue arises, would you rather they call you or the police?
KEEP THE NOISE DOWN
That includes barking dogs. It's unlawful for anyone to willfully make or allow continued loud noise, especially from 10 p.m.-6 a.m. If you can hear the noise at the end of your property line, then it's too loud, and everyone on your lease risks a citation.
STAY INFORMED
Keep up with city events, programs, emergencies, notices, and more by following us on social media. We'd love to hear from you, too!
NO MORE THAN FOUR
Per city ordinance, no more than four unrelated individuals can reside in a single-family home. To view the city's definition of a family, visit cstx.gov/udo and look under Article 11. For questions, contact Planning & Development Services at cspds@cstx.gov or 979.764.3570.
