Water service when an Aledo house is bought, sold or emptied
Aledo had 7,122 residents on July 1, 2025, according to the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimates (Census city and town tables). The city provides water and wastewater service, and its Start, Stop or Transfer Service page spells out each step.
- Starting service. Residential customers fill out an online application. Have a valid government-issued photo ID, the service address, the start date you want, a lease or proof of ownership if required, and any deposits or service fees. The page asks you to allow up to two business days for processing.
- Moving within Aledo. A transfer to another address in the city requires proof of lease or a closing disclosure, plus a driver's license.
- Stopping service. Fill out the disconnection form and email it or bring it to the Utility Billing desk at 200 Old Annetta Rd. The page says advance notice helps make sure the final bill is accurate.

Grass, parkways and mowing liens
Aledo's Code Compliance page lists high grass and weeds, junk and debris, property maintenance and zoning violations among common concerns. Residents can report them through the city's GovWell portal, with photos, and track the request. The vegetation rules in Chapter 22, Article III of the code then apply:
| Section | Rule |
|---|---|
| 22-60 | A person who owns, occupies or controls a lot commits an offense if grass, weeds, brush or any uncultivated plant grows taller than 12 inches on average. |
| 22-63 | The owner also keeps the strip between the property line and the curb line, or ten feet beyond the property line, under that height. |
| 22-64 | If the owner does not comply within ten days of receiving notice, the city may mow and charge the owner. |
| 22-65 | If the bill is unpaid 30 days after the first day of the month following the work, a statement is filed with the county clerk. The lien bears ten percent a year and ranks second only to tax liens and street improvement liens. |
Substandard buildings in Aledo
For a house in worse shape, Article IV of Chapter 10 sets up a hearing process.
- Notice. The building official sends notice at least ten days before the hearing (10-91). To find everyone with an interest, the city searches county real property records, appraisal district records, Secretary of State and assumed name records, city tax records and utility records.
- Cost recovery. If the city secures, repairs, removes or demolishes the building, a notice of lien and the abatement order are filed in the county deed records (10-96).
- Civil penalty. For failing to follow a board order, the penalty may reach $1,000 a day for each violation, or $10 a day for each violation if the owner shows the property is the owner's lawful homestead (10-98).
If you own a house in this situation, see selling a house that needs repairs.
