Important Notice



Due to the City Council missing a meeting in January because of the holiday and in an effort to keep the regular agenda lighter, there will be 2 meetings next week. On Monday, February 4th at 6 p.m., a joint workshop with the City Council and the Zoning Commission is scheduled for 6 p.m. Following this 2 hour workshop, the City Council will meet for a special meeting to discuss city business items on February 4th as well. The regularly scheduled meeting for February 5th is still scheduled for Tuesday at 6 p.m.  
 
Thanks for your understanding as we attempt to address all issues of importance to the city within a reasonable time period.

Upcoming Events


Vehicle Auction 


The next impound lot auction is scheduled for March 14th, 2019, behind the Community Center, 6427 Evers Road, Leon Valley, Texas 78238. The viewing starts at 8:00 am and the auction starts at 9:00 am.

Know Before You Throw! 2019 Spring Large Item Pickup Event


The Spring Large Item Curbside Pickup is Coming Soon!  
 
You may place items curbside February 11 - February 17, 2019. All items to be picked up must be placed at the curb no later than 7:00 AM on Monday February 18, 2019. The reason for the early date is so residents don't prune Oak trees during a time when the trees are most susceptible to Oak Wilt disease (March - June).
During the last large item pickup, we had many residents place too much brush and junk at the curb, which resulted in oversized piles, and those residents ended up having to pay for the excess pick up. During the last Spring pickup, residents put out too many bags of leaves, which also caused them to be charged for the excess pickup.
In order to assure that the next Spring pickup goes as smoothly as possible, we are reminding everyone that the piles placed at the curb may be no larger than 8 cubic yards. That is a space that is 6 ft. x 6 ft. x 6 ft. If you are bagging leaves, please be aware that amounts over the specified limit will result in a charge of $2.00 per excess bag. Please see the price schedule below for extra items and contact Tiger Sanitation at 210-333-4287 to arrange for additional service.

ON IT


The City of Leon Valley is bringing new life and enforcement to the ON IT  program. All City Departments are teaming together to bring more attention and compliance to your neighborhood issues and concerns. The intention of the   ON IT  program is to have a direct means of reporting your community concerns regarding streets, sidewalks, abandoned homes, loose or dead animal reports, permitting concerns, noise or other neighborhood nuisances and much more.

The goal is to ensure that City service requests and information is handled, as promptly as possible, with a high level of customer service. Report it and an  ON IT team member will respond as quickly as possible.
