City of Levelland

What City of Levelland does

The City of Levelland is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1924 in Hockley County, Texas, serving approximately 14,000+ residents across more than 20 departments including Police, Fire, Public Works, Water Administration, Wastewater, Code Enforcement, Parks and Recreation, Library, Finance, and Economic Development. It operates under Texas state law as a public entity governed by an elected Mayor and City Council, with its legal headquarters at 1709 Avenue H. The city delivers essential municipal services — water distribution, wastewater treatment, refuse collection, public safety, permitting, and community programming — through a combination of in-person facilities, online portals, and contracted service providers including Republic Services for solid waste.

Its core digital platform is CivicPlus, an integrated civic engagement SaaS providing the official website (levellandtexas.org), online bill pay, Notify Me email/SMS alert subscriptions, GIS-based interactive web mapping, document center, staff directory, events calendar, online forms, and opinion polls. Beyond digital e-services, Levelland operates physical infrastructure including the Levelland Transfer Station and Landfill, the Law Enforcement Center at 1310 Avenue H, and the Levelland-Oxy Sports Complex at State Highway 385 and Equalizer Road.

The city's revenue model is fundamentally tax-and-fee based, comprising property tax (primary), recurring monthly utility fees (water, sewer, refuse), a voter-approved 1/4 cent sales tax funding the Levelland Community Development Corporation (CDC), building permits and licenses, and federal/state grants including $3.3 million in federal stimulus for the Industrial Rail Park. The CDC, a public non-profit under Section 4b of the Texas Development Corporation Act directed by a 7-member board appointed by City Council, executes the $8.6 million Levelland Industrial Rail Park — a 300-acre industrial development projected to generate 1,000 jobs and $100 million in capital investment. The Levelland Main Street Program, accredited by Main Street America for 20+ years, drives downtown revitalization. Customer segments span residents, local businesses, regional visitors, and youth sports tourism users.
