History

On April 26, 1977, Lakewood Village was officially incorporated as The Town of Lakewood Village, Texas. Originally envisioned and marketed as a golf course community that even had a runway for small engine planes, the town has evolved into a relaxed and quiet lakeside hometown. As of 2014 the Town is zoned entirely residential. The citizens enjoy one of the lowest tax rates in North Texas (only $0.30 per $100 assessed property value), which is less than one-half of the tax rates of surrounding communities. That tax rate has only been increased one time in over 35 years. Although the tax rate is low, the citizens receive the highest quality service including municipal water and sewer (no aerobic systems) as well as the benefits of full-time professional Fire and EMS services. The quality of life in town is further enriched by numerous community events.
