The Town of Northlake

What The Town of Northlake does

The Town of Northlake is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1960 in the southwest corner of Denton County, Texas, located at the intersection of Interstate 35 and State Highway 114 between Fort Worth and Denton, approximately 15 miles from DFW International Airport. It provides a full suite of municipal services to its residents and businesses, including public safety (police, fire/EMS in coordination with Denton County ESD #1), public works (water, sewer, stormwater, streets, trash/recycling), planning and development (zoning, permits, inspections), municipal court, utility billing, parks, and community services. The Town operates three wholly-owned development corporations — the Economic Development Corporation (EDC), Community Development Corporation (CDC), and Municipal Development District (MDD) — which administer economic incentive programs including Pioneer Grants and performance agreements to attract new businesses and industrial investment.

The Town's core technology platform is built on the CivicPlus Content Management System that powers the official municipal website (town.northlake.tx.us), which serves as the unified digital portal for service access. This platform integrates TextMyGov for SMS-based resident alerts and issue reporting, EyeOnWater for utility consumption tracking, OpenGov for online payments (water bills, court tickets), and Everbridge for mass emergency notifications. Public Works Director Eric Tamayo, who has grown the department from 2 to 33 employees over 15 years, holds a Texas Class A Water License — the highest water operator certification in the state — and was invited to speak at the Texas Water Conference.

The Town's revenue mechanics are those of a typical Texas municipality: recurring property tax on residential and commercial parcels, usage-based and flat-rate utility billing for water/sewer/trash, one-time development fees and permits, and managed economic development grants administered through the EDC/CDC. Customer go-to-market is direct-to-resident/business through Town Hall walk-in services, online self-service portals, and multi-channel civic engagement (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, periodic resident and business surveys). The Town has 51-100 employees across Administration, Finance, Municipal Court, Police, Public Works, and Development Services.
