Nestled 20 minutes southwest of downtown Dallas, the City of Cedar Hill borders the eastern shore of Joe Pool Lake and Cedar Hill State Park. This thriving suburb’s lush, tree-lined rolling hills and wide-open green space allow for hikes, bike rides and other outdoor recreational opportunities, and from specialty boutiques in historic downtown to enjoying a day on Joe Pool Lake, the community has found a perfect balance of big-city amenities and small-town charm.

Cedar Hill is a home-rule community governed by a council-manager form of government with a mayor and six council members serving as its legislative body. Together, they focus on community goals, major projects, and strategic planning. The City Manager provides day-to-day executive leadership and administration to the municipal organization.
