Welcome to Cross Roads, Texas
Located in the heart of the growing northeast section of Denton Country, Cross Roads is a town filled with a wide variety of businesses and people.
The people who live in Cross Roads love living here for the country atmosphere, the bountiful trees and the close proximity to Lake Lewisville, Lake Ray Roberts, Denton, Dallas and Fort Worth.
To maintain the beauty and serenity of our Town, there are ordinances in place regarding the protection and preservation of trees, specifics for commercial landscaping, sign specifications, residential subdivision requirements and others. Before any grading or clearing is done, specific plans must be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council.
Cross Roads does not have city property tax and relies on sales tax revenues and fees to fund the necessary expenditures such as road improvement and maintenance, administration, ambulance and fire protection.
Cross Roads has an elected mayor and council government. Elected representatives serve two-year terms. Our town runs on “volunteer power” with all elected representatives and committee members volunteering their time for the benefit of our citizens. See the Town Government page for the members and additional information.
Commercial Growth
We have designated our commercial corridors as the area along U.S. Highways 380 and 377. Our goal is to encourage businesses to locate in Cross Roads as our area will realize significant growth over the next few years. The most recent Texas traffic count in June 2006 at the intersection of these two major highways shows 34,000 cars per day.
Old Texas Country
We designed our architectural theme of “Old Texas Country” to create a special look and feel for our town. The ordinance and guidelines for our Old Texas Country theme provide variety and flexibility while adhering to the overall look and feel we want to continue. Our local businesses tell us they receive frequent compliments about the uniqueness of Cross Roads.
