New Resident's Guide

The Town of Denton welcomes you to our community. We believe Denton represents the best of small-town America, and we are glad you have joined us. Whether you chose Denton as your new business location, or your new residence, we hope you enjoy our town as much as we do.

To make your transition easier, we created this page to provide some information you may need. While we strive to gather the information most needed by newcomers, if there is anything we left out, please let us know. The Mayor, Town Manager, and other town officials are here to assist you any way we can. And, of course, we are sure you will find your fellow citizens friendly and helpful, as well.
