What this body is
The City Council is Richardson's elected governing body under a council-manager charter. It hires and oversees the City Manager, passes city ordinances, approves the annual budget and sets the property tax rate, issues municipal bonds, and appoints citizens to city boards including the Plan Commission and Zoning Board of Adjustment. It makes the final call on essentially every citywide policy and spending decision, and on any zoning case the Plan Commission sends up to it.

This roster is a 2026-08-13 snapshot. City updates from 2026-07-24 and 2026-08-07 refer to a Place 3 vacancy and to applications for it, so the Place 3 line here may name a seat that has since changed. The city's own council page is the authority.

How it is constituted
- Authority
- governing — it decides
- Seats
- 7
- Do you vote for these people?
- elected-at-large
- Term
- 2 year(s)
A Mayor, two seats elected at-large (Places 5 and 6), and four seats tied to residency districts (Places 1–4) — despite that district residency requirement for Places 1–4, all seven seats are elected at-large citywide; every Richardson voter votes on every seat, not just their own district's. The official page states this two ways on the same page — as prose ("the Mayor, two at-large seats and four place, or district, seats") and as a roster label ("Mayor — Place 7") — both are shown here rather than resolved. Term-limited to 6 terms (12 consecutive years).
