The Lewisville City Council made no formal decisions in the past two weeks; all recent meetings were agenda-only, with minutes not yet published. The most consequential item on the council's agenda is the preliminary FY 2026-27 budget, which includes a proposed property tax rate increase and was discussed at a special meeting on Aug. 8. The council also set the stage for upcoming public hearings on the budget and tax rate, though no votes were taken.

Lewisville City Council weighs budget, tax rate, and federal funding

The Lewisville City Council met several times over the past two weeks to consider the city's preliminary budget, federal housing funds, and zoning changes. No final decisions have been published yet; the meetings were agenda-only, with minutes pending.

Budget and tax rate discussion

On Aug. 8, the council, sitting jointly as the Crime Control and Fire Control district boards, held a special budget meeting to consider the City Manager's Preliminary Budget for fiscal year 2026-27. The discussion covered the proposed property tax rate, water and sewer rates, and a stormwater rate study. The council also set public hearing and vote dates: Sept. 14 for the budget and Sept. 21 for the tax rate. It accepted the 2026 certified tax rolls, with a total taxable value of $22,436,307,482 and new construction of $428,759,494. The council accepted the calculation of the no-new-revenue tax rate of $0.425595 and the preliminary voter-approval tax rate of $0.436381, and authorized publication.

The taxpayer impact statement shows a median home value of $400,000. The current city tax bill is $1,676.04; the proposed bill would be $1,745.52, while the no-new-revenue rate would produce a bill of $1,702.38.

Lewisville council agendas outline trail contract, drainage work, and rezoning cases; no minutes published yet

Lewisville's recent government meetings remain in agenda-only status, with minutes not yet published for any session held over the past two weeks.

On land use, the council was scheduled to consider rezoning 2.577 acres near Lady of the Lake Blvd for a tennis facility expansion, and a Special Use Permit amendment for automobile sales at 1504 Eagle Court.

Lewisville City Council to weigh $2.2M trail contract, rezoning bids at July 6 meeting

Lewisville's City Council is set to consider more than $3.2 million in contracts and several land-use changes at its July 6 meeting, while recent weeks produced no finalized legislative decisions, according to available agendas.

Recent meetings: No decisions on record

Over the past two weeks, Lewisville's posted meeting activity consisted of quorum notices and one Planning and Zoning Commission agenda. Minutes have not yet been published for any of these, so no votes or final actions can be confirmed.

On June 22, a quorum of City Council members may have attended a community luncheon — "Our First Radical Honor for My City Luncheon" at Odeelia Church. The notice described it as a social event, not a legislative session.

On June 23, the Planning and Zoning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing on a rezoning request for 7.082 acres at 1918 and 1926–1954 East State Highway 121 Business. The request seeks to change the property from Light Industrial (LI) to Planned Development – Multi-Family Three (PD-MF-3). No minutes are available yet, so the outcome of that hearing is not on record.

On June 24, a quorum of council members may have attended the TML Region 8 meeting hosted by the City of Corinth. That notice was procedural only.

July 6 City Council: Contracts and rezoning on the agenda

The council's July 6 agenda includes several items with dollar amounts attached:

The commission will consider landscape standards for 1844 N Stemmons Freeway, an ordinance amending the Unified Development Code regarding zoning petitions and appeals, and a Special Use Permit for a smoking establishment at 2680 Denton Tap Road.

Lewisville City Council poised to consider $3.2M in contracts for trails, drainage, and home repairs

A light meeting calendar in late June gave way to a slate of multimillion-dollar contract decisions on the upcoming Lewisville City Council agenda. No formal votes were taken at recent city gatherings, according to available records, leaving the July 6 council session as the week’s most consequential meeting.

Recent meetings

The past two weeks were dominated by quorum notices and an unresolved rezoning hearing. On June 22, the council provided notice that a quorum might attend a community luncheon at Odeelia Church. The following day, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on a request to rezone 7.082 acres at 1918 and 1926–1954 East State Highway 121 Business from Light Industrial to Planned Development for multi-family use (PD-MF-3). Minutes from that hearing have not yet been published, so no vote tally is available. A second quorum notice on June 24 indicated council members might be present at a Texas Municipal League Region 8 meeting hosted by Corinth.

Coming up

City Council — July 6

The council will consider three significant contract awards totaling more than $3.2 million, along with two land-use items.
