Mayor’s Message

Hello Frostites,

Safe. Thriving. Connected.

What a great weekend for the Frost Citywide Garage Sale! Thank you to everyone who participated, shared posts, and helped make it such a success. It was wonderful to see so many neighbors visiting, chatting, and supporting one another.

As we move into October, I’m looking forward to another favorite community event — the Frost Volunteer Fire Department Dinner & Auction on Saturday, October 11. Come enjoy a great meal, friendly faces, and a fun night in support of the volunteers who help keep our community safe.

And later this month, Frost Baptist Church will host its Fall Festival on Sunday, October 26 at 5:00 PM — another wonderful opportunity to gather and celebrate the season together.

Let’s keep moving Frost forward!

City Services

The Sewer Plant Upgrade Project remains on track for completion in late October or early November — a major step toward improving our city’s infrastructure and reliability.

As a reminder, with the ongoing upgrades at the sewer plant, please remember that “flushable” wipes are not actually flushable. These products do not break down like toilet paper and can cause clogs, backups, and damage to the system. Proper disposal helps keep the sewer plant operating efficiently and protects our community’s investment.

A big thank-you to our City Utility Crew for their quick work repairing a recent water leak!

Code Corner: Animal Ordinances

Friendly reminder for all pet owners — the City’s animal ordinances help keep our community safe and comfortable for everyone.

Here are a few key points:

Number of animals: No person or household shall keep or harbor more than four (4) animals of the same species at any one residential location. A litter under four (4) months of age is not counted toward this limit.
Enclosures: Animals must be kept in secure, sanitary enclosures that prevent escape and protect against weather.
Animals at large: It’s unlawful for any animal to run loose off its owner’s property. Pets must be restrained or on a leash when outdoors.
Care: Owners are responsible for providing adequate food, water, and shelter at all times.
Code & Ordinance information: City of Frost, TX GENERAL PROVISIONS

Let’s all do our part to be responsible pet owners and good neighbors!
