Denton Municipal Electric is a city-owned (public power) utility. Under PUC rules, customers of a municipal utility can choose a retail electric provider only if the city has opted in to competition. Oncor also lists Denton among the cities it serves, and CoServ Electric, the co-op founded as Denton County Electric Cooperative in 1937, serves parts of the county. With a city utility, Oncor and a co-op all in the picture, read the name on your bill before an AC or electrical contractor promises a rebate or a cheaper plan. If DME serves you, ask DME directly whether your address can choose a retail provider.

Ask the City of Denton who supplies water and collects trash at your address, and about any drought stage, before you fill a pool or book a pressure wash, and ask a contractor for the permit number before work starts.

Courts. Civil and criminal district-court cases are filed with the Denton County District Clerk at 1450 E McKinney Street, which has taken electronic filing since 2012.

Property tax. Exemption and appraisal questions go to the appraisal district portal at dentoncad.com. Under Tax Code Sec. 41.44 a value protest is generally due by May 15 or 30 days after the notice is delivered, whichever is later.

Flood and storms. Check any address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. The county's Office of Emergency Management publishes guidance for tornadoes, winter storms, extreme heat, flooding, lightning and wildfire. Read the tornado and winter storm pages before you need a roofer, tree crew or plumber in a hurry.

Mosquitoes. Denton County Public Health reported the county's sixth human West Nile virus case of 2026 on October 13, 2026, and that resident lives in the City of Denton. Its mosquito maps are at DentonCounty.gov/WNV.

Hazardous waste. The county offers household hazardous waste vouchers for Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center; FY2027 vouchers opened on October 1, 2026.
