Hello, my name is Jim Spence, Mayor of Garland, Texas.

Garland, a community of over 200,000 people, is the 10th largest city in Texas and shares a common border with Dallas.

On behalf of our City Council, City Staff, and all the citizens of our community, I welcome you to the official City of Garland Web Site. Our mission is to connect you with the information, services, and people you need to answer your questions and assist you in your dealings with city government. Whether you are interested in city government, economic opportunities in Garland, planning a visit to Garland, or just browsing through, we hope your stay will be an informative one.

I invite you to participate in the ongoing construction of this site by offering your suggestions for future content via the "feedback" links on every page. Take your time, enjoy yourself, and come back and visit us often.

Thank you for your interest.
