ES2 Outdoor Lighting

As residents and property owners, we all enjoy Frisco's beautiful mountain setting and our ability to see the stars at night.
Well-designed outdoor lighting does many things. It provides security, maintains our small-town character and increases safety. Inappropriate and poorly designed lighting causes glare, unsafe conditions, reduces sky visibility, and may even compromise security. Excessive or misdirected light also wastes energy.
The Town's lighting regulations require certain types of lighting for new commercial and residential construction and the expansion or remodeling of existing structures as well as new or replaced lighting fixtures.
The Town encourages all residential property owners to do an assessment of outdoor lighting on their homes. To find out more information on ways you can help preserve Frisco's night sky, visit the following:
