About Frisco, TX
As the fastest growing community over the past two decades (U.S. Census Bureau) and listed among the Best Places to Live in America (Money Magazine, 2021-22 and 2018), Frisco defines Progress in Motion, our city tagline.
Spanning about 70 square miles, Frisco is 28 miles north of Dallas, in Collin and Denton counties. More than 240,000 people call Frisco home. We anticipate our population will grow to around 325,000. Our ethnic diversity is growing, too. About 35 percent of our population is Asian, about 10 percent is Hispanic, and 9 percent of residents are Black.
We’re a family-friendly place where nearly 40 percent of our residents are married with children. Our median household income is more than $140,000. Both Frisco Police and Fire Departments are internationally accredited. Frisco is home to 70 developed parks and more than 80 miles of hike and bike trails with more on the way. Frisco is home to the Dallas Cowboys, NHL’s Dallas Stars, MLS’s FC Dallas, Frisco Roughriders, Texas Legends and PGA of America.
City Government
Our Council-Manager form of government consists of a Mayor, six City Council members elected at-large and a City Manager. Council members’ duties include enacting local legislation, adopting budgets, determining policies and appointing the City Manager, Municipal Judge and City Attorney. Frisco has had only two City Managers since its Charter adoption.
While our City Manager takes care of day-to-day operations, the Mayor and City Council focus on vision for the future. The Mayor facilitates City Council meetings; however, the Mayor does not vote except to break a tie. By Charter, the Mayor is also the official spokesperson for the City Council.
