Frequently Asked Questions

​How large is Coppell? 

The city is 14.71 square miles.​

What is the city's current population? 

40,310 as of January 1, 2016.

What is the role of the Planning and Zoning Commission? 

The Planning and Zoning Commission is a recommending body to the City Council on all zoning, platting, and development matters. They are the Site Plan approval authority and have been granted the right to approve Final Plats in some instances​.​​​

How often does the Planning and Zoning Commission meet? 

The Planning and Zoning Commission meets every third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.

How can I obtain specific information on upcoming zoning cases? 

​Call the Planning Department at (972) 304-3678 and ask to speak with a planner on staff. The zoning cases are listed on the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council agendas posted in City Hall at least 72 hours prior to the respective meetings, and are published in the Citizens' Advocate newspaper. Planning and Zoning Commission Agendas, Minutes and Packets are available in the Public Document Database. Access these via the City Secretary parent folder, 10-Boards & Commissions subfolder, and then the Planning and Zoning Commission subfolder.

Who is notified with regards to a zoning change request?

All property owners on the most recently approved tax roll located within 200 feet of the zoning change request are notified by mail at least 10 days prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. A zoning notification sign is also placed on the subject property 10 days prior to the hearing and remains on the property until the city takes action on the request.

What can be done if I oppose the rezoning of property within my neighborhood? 

Send in your written opposition to the Planning Department prior to the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The planning staff may be contacted to obtain detailed information on the case. A staff report is available the Monday before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Encourage all surrounding property owners to attend the public hearing.

Can City Council overrule a zoning recommendation for denial forwarded by the Planning and Zoning Commission? 

Yes. It would take an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of all the members of City Council (6 out of 7) to overrule a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission that a proposed zoning change be denied.

How much opposition is necessary to require an affirmative vote of at least three- fourths of all members of the City Council? 

The protest must be written and signed by the property owners of at least 20% of either the area of lots or land covered by the proposed change or the areas of lots or land immediately adjoining the area covered by the proposed change, extending 200 feet from that area.

What is the difference between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance? 

The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range plan intended to direct growth and physical development of a community for decades. The plan includes policies relative to physical development, transportation, parks and open space and economic development. It provides for the distribution and relationship of various land uses. The plan also serves as a basis for future development recommendations. Whereas, the Zoning Ordinance regulates the use of land and site development. It controls size of land area, size of yards, building coverage, height of structures, amount of landscaping, among several other things. Any violation of the Zoning Ordinance carries a penalty of up to $2,000 dollars for each offense.​​​

​​The William T. Cozby Public Library was established in 1974 as the Coppell Public Library in an old frame home located at 561 N. Coppell Road. The library was a volunteer effort opening its doors with 3,000 books. In 1986, the library moved to Town Center and was renamed in honor of William T. Cozby, a former mayor and civic leader. The doors opened at the present location on April 24, 1995.  Since that time, the number of people entering the building and the circulation of materials have changed dramatically. Today, the collection contains more than 88,000 items including books, CDs, DVDs, electronic resources such as downloadable audiobooks and e-books, Internet workstations and public WiFi access. 

Completion is nearing! We hope to re-open in early November.

Keep Coppell Beautiful is a citizen committee that organizes opportunities to preserve and beautify our community through waste reduction, litter prevention, beautification, and environmental stewardship. Take part in one of the dozens of programs, events or volunteer projects that take place throughout the year! Apply to join the committee 


Environmental Education Classes

KCB offers monthly classes and seminars on practical green living ideas. The classes tend to focus on growing food, composting, smart irrigation and planting colorful and ecofriendly landscapes. Most of the classes are held at the Biodiversity Education Center, although we occasionally partner with Coppell Community Garden and school gardens in the community to host hands-on demonstrations off-site. All classes are free to the public with no registration required. View current schedule of classes.

Sustainable Home and Garden Tour

Each fall KCB organizes a tour of Coppell gardens to feature the practical implementation of the ideas from their classes. This casual self-guided tour allows you to learn about the real benefits of solar, rainwater collection and Smartscape design in an environment that feels like talking to a neighbor. 

The 2016 tour will take place on Saturday, October 1st from 8 a.m. to noon. Pick up your map before 11:30 a.m. from Helping Hands Community Garden at 255 Parkway Blvd. (located in the Town Center parking lot). The first 100 attendees will receive a green living giveaway, but all participants will have the opportunity to be entered into a drawing to win a rain barrel or compost bin. The tour is free to the public with no registration required.

Do you know of a home and garden that would be perfect for this tour? Nominate a friend or apply yourself to be considered for next one. Homeowners who participate will be recognized in our newsletter, invited to a special garden party, and will know that they had a significant part in encouraging others to make practical green home improvements. 

Wildflower Seeding

Each October community groups of all ages come together to spread wildflower seeds in designated areas of Coppell parks. Gather your friends, family, Scout troop and neighbors for a fun, free event. Reminisce on what Coppell looked like as a prairie and do the “buffalo stomp” with the herd of seeders. 

Enhance the beauty of the trail system of Moore Road Park on Saturday, October 15th, 2016. The seeding begins at 9 a.m. and wraps up quickly so please arrive on time!

Clean Coppell

Take an active role in cleaning up Coppell streets, parks, and neighborhoods! Each April, community groups from all around town come together to do litter cleanups and beautification projects. In 2015, residents cleaned up graffiti, painted a mural, planted hundreds of native plants in the nature park, touched up the community gardens, and participated in dozens of litter cleanups. Getting involved is easy! Request a project.

Organize a litter cleanup - Choose a location where you notice a need and fill out a request for clean-up supplies.  We will provide trash bags, gloves, and trash pickers upon request. You can do this year-round, but t-shirts will be provided for groups that participate in the annual April event which contributes to a nationwide effort, the Great American Cleanup. Clean Coppell volunteers that that wear their t-shirts to Earthfest get a free treat!

Organize a beautification project – Be creative! If you have a project in mind and the people willing to do it, you can submit an application to have KCB sponsor the supplies. The project should benefit the community through preservation or beautification. Some ideas include:
  • Planting a monarch waystation to attract butterflies
  • Restoring shared gardens such as community or school gardens. 
  • Helping an elderly or disabled neighbor meet code requirements for their yard.
  • Graffiti removal

EcoCoppell Earthfest 

Earthfest is a celebration of Coppell’s commitment to the environment - an entertaining and educational experience! Visit the many environmental education booths to learn how you can lead a more sustainable lifestyle. Don’t forget to shop the plant sale, grab a bite to eat and enjoy a lively performance by Definitely, Maybe.

The fun includes live music, food, artisan and green living vendors, arts and crafts, photo booths, face painting, and interactive environmental education booths.  The event also hosts an annual cleanup/fix up station where people can take advantage of free document shredding, bulk trash drop off, and donating household goods. 

If you have a green project or product to showcase, you are welcome to fill out a vendor application for the event. In 2017, Earthfest will be on Earth Day, April 22nd!

Individual Volunteers

We hope to see you at one of the programs above! If you would like to volunteer to assist at events like Earthfest or the Sustainable Home and Garden Tour, contact kcb@coppelltx.gov. ​

Page Content: ​​​​​Preparations are under way for the 2016 "Make a Child Smile" program, sponsored by the City of Coppell. The purpose of Make a Child Smile (intended solely for children enrolled in CISD and residing within the city limits of Coppell) is just what it says - to do our part to put big, happy smiles on the faces of all children in Coppell at Christmas time.

In previous years, the generosity and kindness of Coppell businesses and citizens has enabled us to provide each child in our program with a toy and an article of clothing.  City employees donate their time to separate, bag, and deliver the gifts to the families approximately one week before Christmas.

The children to whom we provide gifts usually participate in the school lunch program.  However, some families may be experiencing temporary circumstances and may need a little extra help during the holiday season.  The City does not want the name of the child or family.  All we need is an address, child's gender, child's age, child's clothing size, and child's hobbies/interests.  Also, any information about other children in the family – from infants through seniors in high school - is greatly appreciated.  This helps us ensure that all children in the family receive gifts and that no child is left out or overlooked.

If you qualify and want your children to be included in this program, please click on the link: Make A Child Smile​

The online form should be completed by Wednesday, October 19, 2016. 

If you have any questions please feel free to contact:

​​

The Utility Billing department maintains normal business hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Customers may bring in payments during that time; outside of the normal hours, customers may mail payments, drop payments in the drive-thru drop box located at Town Center, or pay online.​​
   

 Service Disruption

If your water service has been suddenly interrupted and you do not know the cause, please call the Utility Billing department at 972-304-3695. When water service has been discontinued for non-payment of a bill, the full amount of the bill plus a $20 reconnection fee must be paid before service is reinstated. Customers should contact the Utility Operations department to report water leaks, sewer back-ups, or water quality problems at 972-462-5150.

​water, Sewer, & Garbage Rates

Residential Water Rates​

Residential water rates are $16.00 for the first 1,000 gallons and $2.85 per 1,000 gallons thereafter (November through May).
During the summer months, water is used primarily for lawn irrigation. This usage can account for up to 60% of summer water use. Experts predict that as the population continues to grow, the demand for and availability of water will begin to stress public water supplies and systems. Those who dramatically increase​ their water use during the months of June through October will help pay for the additional water needed to keep up with peak demand. Residential water rates for June through October are as follows:

​First 1,000 Gallons​$16.00
​1,001 - 25,000 Gallons​$2.85 per ​1,000 gallons
​25,001+ Gallons​$3.55 per 1,000 gallons


Residential Sewer Rates Year Round

​​First 1,000 Gallons​​$16.00
​1,001 - 14,0​​00 Gallons​$1.85 per​ 1,000 gallons


Senior Water ​Rates

Senior Citizens (age 65 and older) may apply for a 10% discount on their water bill by providing a copy of their driver's license. Senior discounted water rates are $14.40 for the first 1,000 gallons and $2.56 per 1,000 gallons thereafter (November through May).
Beginning in June and ending in October, Senior discount water rates are as follows:

​First 1,000 Gallons​$14.40
​1,001 - 25,000 Gallons​​$2.56 per 1,000 gallons
​25,001+​$3.19 per  1,000 gallons


Senior Sewer Rates Year Round

​First 1,000 Gallons​$14.40
​1,001 - 14,000 Gallo​ns​$1.66​ per 1,000 gallons
​14,001+ Gallons​$35.98​


Residential Garbage Rates

Republic Services provides refuse collection services. This service is mandatory for all residents and billed on your monthly water bill. For additional information, contact Utility Billing at 972-304-3695. The current residential garbage rate, effective January 1, 2016, is $15.26 per month plus $1.26 sales tax and $0.10 public education fee.

Senior Garbage Rates

The senior citizen (age 65 and older) residential garbage rate, effective January 1, 2016, is $13.73 per month plus $1.13 sales tax and $0.10 public education fee.

Commercial Water, Sewer and Garbage Rates

Commercial water and sewer rates are based on the size of the meter installed. For specific account information, contact Utility Billing at 972-304-3695. Garbage rates are based on the size of the container. For specific account information, please ​call Republic Services at 972-304-3555.

SERVICE Set Up & Changes

​The City of Coppell uses 2 Turn It On to set up new residential utility accounts.  Contact the Utility Billing department to transfer or cancel service or to set up commercial accounts.  Use the H2O Online portal to make changes to your payment or contact information. Rental properties must be registered and inspected prior to a new tenant moving in and setting up a utility account. Visit Building Inspections​ for fees and scheduling.

Commercial​ customers will not be able to utilize 2 Turn It On.  Please complete the Service Application and Service Agreement and return them to the Utility Billing Department either via email at H2OBills@coppelltx.gov or fax at 972-304-7091.

Paying Your Bill

Customers are billed monthly for water, sewer, and garbage services.  Payment is due no later than twenty days from the billing dates. After the 20th day, a 10% penalty will be assessed on the balance. If payment still has not been received within approximately 10 days after the penalty date, your service will be disconnected. Additionally, there will be a $20 reconnect fee to have your service reinstated. To avoid service being disconnected and being assessed the reconnect fee, customers unable to pay their bill in full by the due date should contact our office to make payment arrangements. Payment arrangements are done on a case-by-case basis. Customers may complete and sign a payment arrangement agreement in person or via fax.

​Electronic Bank Drafting Service

Customers may elect to have an automatic electronic bank draft occur for monthly water bill payments. Customers selecting this option will receive a monthly bill stating "Amount Due will be Bank Drafted - DO NOT PAY." Your bank will deduct the water bill amount approximately two to three business days prior to the due date printed on your bill. There is no charge for this bank draft plan and the draft option may be discontinued at any time by simply notifying the City in writing. At this time, please note that participating in the Voluntary Donations is not possible through the electronic bank drafting service.

Voluntary Donations

The City of Coppell has established a voluntary donation program that is payable with your monthly water bill. The program is strictly voluntary and allows a total contribution of $2 per month to be utilized for the Library, Parks, Economic Development, and Fire departments only. Those wishing to participate in this program will need to contact the Utility Billing department directly.

Our temporary library facility will be closed from Monday, October 17 through Sunday, October 30. We will reopen at 177 N Heartz Rd On Monday, October 31.

​The Library is undergoing an​ expansion and renovation project that will provide more functional, adaptable spaces that will meet the future needs of a family community. The library is expanding its facility to provide a business center, additional study rooms and meeting spaces, a drive through book return, and more. Construction began in Fall of 2015. We expect to move back into our newly renovated library on Monday, October 31​. The library has moved to its temporary location at 500 Southwestern Blvd. All updates and news will be available here​.

​​​​


​Although the building is very cozy compared to our existing library, we will be able to bring the majority of our collection and some public-use computers with us. The remainder of the collection, along with shelving and furniture, will go into storage. During the renovation, we will continue to offer library programs, some of which will be held in different spaces around town. Our digital library, which includes thousands of eBooks, eAudiobooks, and e​Magazines, will continue to grow. You can follow our renovation progress on our website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter using the hashtag #MyNewCozby​

Municipal Court Authority and Jurisdiction

The single most important source of municipal court authority and jurisdiction is the Texas Constitution which gives the state legislature the power to establish courts and their jurisdiction when it sees fit. The legislature exercised this power and first created municipal courts in the Corporation Court Law of 1899. This law has been codified in the Texas Government Code. Municipal courts also look to various other statutes and codes for authority and jurisdiction.
--Provided by the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center

The source of Court of Record Authority is the State of Texas Government Code, Chapter 30, Subchapter L.L.--Coppell. In addition, the following also authorize the Court: Coppell City Code, Chapter 5; 1996 Edition, and Art. 5 Sec. 31 Texas Constitution.
