What Las Colinas does

The Las Colinas Association (LCA) is a nonprofit property owners association established in 1973 to manage the Las Colinas master-planned community in Irving, Texas, within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The organization serves as the permanent governing body for all properties covered by the Las Colinas Master Declaration, providing integrated community management services to both residential property owners across 40+ villages and commercial property owners including offices, retail, warehouses, and unimproved land. LCA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors with equal residential and commercial representation.

LCA's core operational portfolio spans five service lines: (1) Security Services including 24/7 patrol via six marked vehicles and a UL-listed alarm monitoring center with proprietary mesh radio network infrastructure that bypasses landline/cellular dependencies; (2) Architectural Control through a 3-member committee and 5-member subcommittees processing over 1,000 plan review submissions annually; (3) Property Compliance via seven field representatives monitoring deed restriction adherence; (4) Common Property Maintenance covering 190+ acres of parks, medians, greenbelts, 17 miles of canals, 10 miles of trails, and 150,000+ annual color plantings; and (5) Administrative Services handling assessments, resale certificates, and estoppel processing.

LCA's revenue model is subscription-based annual property assessments at a uniform rate of $0.115 per $100 of assessed value as determined by the Dallas County Appraisal District, billed to all property owners within the Las Colinas Declaration area. The membership is automatic and non-optional for covered properties, with voting rights proportional to assessed value. Members also pay 10% per annum interest on delinquent accounts after July 31. The community encompasses 4 world-class golf courses, 5 DART stations, 200+ restaurants, and serves as headquarters or significant office location for 11 Fortune 1000 companies and 14 Inc. 5000 companies, with access to a 4.4 million worker regional labor pool.
