Nestled along the eastern and northern shores of Lake Ray Hubbard and home to an estimated 68,388 residents, the City of Rowlett is the place to live, work, and play. Split between Dallas and Rockwall counties and stretched across 20.8 square miles, the community is among the fastest growing in the country — and it’s no wonder. Residents enjoy excellent schools, beautiful neighborhoods, a variety of dining and shopping choices, quality healthcare facilities, superior utilities highlighted by fiber to every home, and a high standard of public safety.

Incorporated in 1952, the City of Rowlett operates under a home-rule charter and functions under the council-manager form of government. The City Council is composed of a mayor and six council members. The City Council appoints the City Manager, City Attorney, Prosecuting Attorney, Municipal Judges, City Auditor, and City Secretary. The City Manager is responsible for the daily management of the City.

Rowlett’s City Manager’s Office is a team of seven full-time employees, which includes one grant writer and three in the Public Information Office. It is operating on a budget of just over $1.19 million this fiscal year. The City Manager’s Office leads, directs, and coordinates City operations and staff on a daily basis. The City Manager implements City Council policy; encourages and provides for citizen input regarding City operations, services and programs; engages in special studies and projects to ensure productive operations; prepares and implements the annual operating budget; and serves as a liaison to other governmental entities.
