Separate town off US 281 north of Loop 410, next to Hill Country Village
- ZIP and place78232
- A separate town off US 281 north of Loop 410, next to Hill Country Village, at about 961 feet of elevation. Incorporated December 7, 1955 to avoid annexation by San Antonio; 1.45 square miles; 3,130 residents at the 2020 Census.
- Permit deskHollywood Park Building Department
- The town issues its own permits and cannot take a building permit application electronically: it is filed in person at Town Hall, while tree permits are online. Decks and fences are on the permit list. Re-inspections carry a rising fee and work started without a permit is charged two to four times the normal fee. The town publishes no deck size threshold, so every deck and cover is treated as permitted.
- Fence and wall rules
- A fence permit from the building inspector specifies the approved height, length, materials, style and location, and retaining or landscape walls over 2 feet need a permit too. Garden-home perimeter fences in the newer district may run to 8 feet; the front-setback fence there is capped at 2 feet. Front-yard height in the original district is confirmed with the inspector before the quote.
- Lots and setbacksDistrict A
- Minimum lots of 20,000 square feet with a 40-foot front setback, 10-foot sides and 20-foot rear, and accessory structures at least 10 feet off the rear and side lines. Sport courts were defined by ordinance in 2024. That is the envelope a detached pergola, pavilion or shed has to sit inside.
- Trees
- Tree trimming needs a town permit, free for homeowners and a flat fee for commercial crews. Live oaks shade most lots, so cover rooflines and deck posts are planned to the canopy and any pruning follows the oak-wilt calendar.
- Deer
- Hollywood Park has the only codified deer program among the northern municipalities: a Deer Committee since 2010, a Deer Project Manager running trap-and-transport and contraception under state rules with an annual census, and limits on feeding (no hand feeding, no commercial feeders). Landscaping here is planned from the deer-resistant palette, with sod in the open and anything tender fenced.
- Design review
- No town architectural committee for houses: the bodies are the Town Council, the economic development corporation, the Deer Committee and Parks and Recreation. The building permit is the approval, and any newer section with its own association is confirmed at the consult.
- Homes
- Large, level, oak-shaded lots with homes from the town's 1950s and 1960s growth onward, many single story, many with an original slab porch that a full covered patio replaces. Older backyard structures from that era are common takedowns.

What Hollywood Park homeowners ask first
How do permits work in Hollywood Park?
The Town of Hollywood Park issues its own building permits, and the application is filed in person at Town Hall because the town does not accept building permit applications electronically. Decks and fences are permitted work, and starting without a permit costs two to four times the normal fee. Klema Builders files in person, schedules inspections, and carries the permit as a line item in the quote.
What fence can I build in Hollywood Park?
The fence permit itself sets the approved height, length, materials, style and location, so the answer is written into your permit. Garden-home perimeter fences in the newer district run to 8 feet with a 2-foot cap in the front setback; retaining and landscape walls over 2 feet are permitted separately. We confirm the numbers for your lot with the building inspector before the quote.
Where can a detached pergola or pavilion go on my lot?
Inside the District A envelope: at least 10 feet off the rear and side lines, behind the 40-foot front setback, on a lot that starts at 20,000 square feet. Most lots have room for a structure well away from the house; we draw it on the survey so the permit reads cleanly the first time.
What landscaping survives the Hollywood Park deer?
Plantings from the deer-resistant palette: salvia, Texas sage, rosemary, agave, yucca, native grasses and tough shrubs in rock and mulch beds with steel edging. The town's own deer program tells you how large the herd is. Sod does fine in the open; vegetables and tender ornamentals go behind fencing or not at all.
Do you handle the permit and the design review in Hollywood Park?
Yes. In Hollywood Park that means the town building permit filed in person, a tree permit if any oak is pruned, and a wall permit for anything over 2 feet. We prepare the drawings, the site plan and the material list, file the application, and handle the back-and-forth; the permit and the review are line items in the quote. Every project starts with a free in-home consult and a fixed-price quote line by line within 3 to 5 business days, and we build across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin.
How much does a deck, pergola or covered patio cost in Hollywood Park?
A 16x30 basic wood deck with handrails in Hollywood Park starts at $4,000, labor and materials included. Covered patios, pergolas, composite and multi-level decks are quoted fixed-price, line by line, after a free in-home consult. The written quote arrives within 3 to 5 business days.

What does it cost to take down an old pergola or deck in Hollywood Park?
A 12x12 pergola removal in Hollywood Park starts at $3,750, haul-away and yard grading included. Decks, patio covers, fences, sheds, hot tubs and playsets are taken down in 1 to 3 business days, hauled off and the ground graded or raked. Concrete footings and any siding or stucco repair at the ledger are handled separately. Already tore it down yourself? We haul off the pile.
The previous owner built a deck without a permit. Can you take it down?
Yes. That is a common Hollywood Park job: a 1980s or 1990s deck, pergola or shed that was never permitted comes down in 1 to 3 business days, hauled off, the yard graded or raked, and the site is clean for whatever you build next under a proper permit. Concrete footings and any siding repair at the ledger are handled separately.
How long does a project take in Hollywood Park?
A cedar pergola is built in 1 to 2 weeks on site once materials and approvals are in hand. A composite or cedar deck takes 3 to 6 weeks from signed contract to walk-through once the permit clears, and a multi-level or pool deck 6 to 10 weeks. Town permit review typically adds 1 to 3 weeks once the application is filed in person. The schedule is committed in writing in the contract.
