Lake Mary is often recognized for its efficient government and progressive attitude. A "Total Quality" managed city government provides a true customer oriented style of leadership. The City seeks to join forces with quality managed businesses to build a partnership for the future. In concert with Seminole County, economic incentives may be available to attract quality corporations.

Offering a "Commission/City Manager" form of government, full-time professionals manage the daily processes and an elected City Commission maintains policy objectives and strategic planning processes. The City is proud to say we have the lowest average municipal tax rate in the county. The result is a vibrant, well planned community offering residents and businesses alike what the City calls "Total Quality of Life!"

The City Commission’s regular meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7:00 P. M. in the Commission Chambers at City Hall. However, the time ot date could be changed by the commission. If you would like to have an item placed on an agenda, please contact the City Manager’s office at 407-585-1419 or e-mail using this link. All requests including backup material are due in the City Manager’s office by noon on Wednesday of the week prior to the meeting.

The Commission also provides for “Citizen Participation” at each regular meeting for members of the public to address the Commission upon matters relating to the City or of concern to its citizens. However, they have adopted a policy limiting each person to 5 minutes.
