Our MissionTo preserve Lantana’s small town atmosphere through responsible government and quality service.

Visit our website, www.lantana.org, for more information.

Our HistoryIn September 1888, Morris Benson Lyman settled on a natural point of land, known as Lyman’s Point. In the following year, M.B Lyman established a store, an Indian trading post and a post office. While serving as Post Master, he was requested to choose a Town name. Given the great amounts of the wild Lantana Plant that was growing throughout, he chose the Town name of “Lantana Point”, the “Point” was later dropped from the official Town name. As they say, the rest is history.

Our ServicesLantana is a full service community offering Police protection, Public Works, Water and Sewer Utilities, Building, Library, Marine Safety and Municipal Administration. The Town’s form of government consists of a Town Manager with a mayor and four Council Members elected for three-year overlapping terms. The Town Manager is appointed by the Town Council.

Our AmenitiesTown recreational facilities include an eight-acre municipal beach with 745 feet of ocean frontage; three parks with picnic areas, playground equipment and restrooms; a Nature Preserve; an 11-acre Sports Facility; a recreation center with playground equipment, a kayak park and a two acre boat launching facility.

Our GoalsOur goals are strategically planned to help achieve our mission. The quality of life in our community is the primary goal, with a focus on safety, physical environment, leisure services and creating an attractive community.

Lantana is the coastal heart of the palm beaches, uniquely offering island living along with large vacant industrial and commercial sites.

Who we are:

Centrally located in Palm Beach County, Lantana is one of the most envi-ronmentally-aware municipalities in Florida. Incorporated in 1921, the Town has grown into a vibrant, beautiful community of spacious waterfront parks, with industrial and commercially zoned properties.

Where we’re located:

Surrounded by Palm Beach County’s coastal beauty, the town is positioned in Florida’s most populated region of 5.6 million people. We offer two major transportation routes, I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike as well as fast access to three international airports and three sea ports.

A Town dedicated to Education:

The Town of Lantana has 2 Elementary schools and 2 Middle schools. The Florida Department of Education has designated these schools as follows: Palm Beach Maritime Academy Elementary School; Palm Beach Maritime Academy Middle School; Lantana Elementary; and Lantana Middle School.

From site planning to building permits, the Town is your partner:

Lantana has a dedicated team to assist businesses. Our staff is streamlin-ing the approval process which provides for a fast and supportive review of applications and permits.

Committed to sustainable beautification:

The Town is committed to balancing business growth and resources so as to not cause an overall burden on the environment. As a partner, the Town’s Pace Program will assist businesses in reducing their impact on the envi-ronment by encouraging energy conservation, increasing recycling efforts, and providing steps for businesses to be profitable while environmentally responsible. Our effort is to attract business, industry, and employment that are forward thinking.

Evergreen Cemetery was established by the Evergreen Cemetery Company in 1892 as a final resting place for local families. The cemetery’s land was purchased by M.B. Lyman, Lantana’s founder. Lyman, who is buried in the cemetery, served as the town’s first postmaster. He named the town Lantana Point because of the flowering Lantana plant that grew in the area. “Point” was later dropped from the town’s name. The cemetery’s earliest marked gravestone is dated January 22, 1886. There are 18 marked grave sites in the cemetery where members of the town’s eight pioneer families are buried. Occupying unmarked graves are two crew members from the shipwreck “Inchulva,” which sank in a hurricane off Delray Beach in 1903. Several members of the African-American community were buried here during the early 20th century. The cemetery also contains the mass grave of some victims of the 1928 Hurricane. In 1952, ownership of the cemetery was transferred to the Town of Lantana and was closed to further burials.

The Chapel of the Holy Spirit, formerly known as the Minerva Chapel, is one of the oldest buildings in Palm Beach County. This eclectic style building was first used as a tea house for the Royal Poinciana Hotel in Palm Beach, which was built by Henry Flagler in 1894. After the hotel was demolished in 1936, the building was moved ten miles south to Hypoluxo, where it served as a guest house for the Willis Reinhardt estate. From 1946 to 1951, the building served as the exclusive Gold Key Club, which was part of the Lake Shore Club gambling casino. During the 1950s and 1960s, the building was an artist’s studio, a caretaker’s cottage, and a gift shop before it was bought in 1967 by former Hypoluxo Mayor James Brown. He moved the building to his Carefree Cove Mobile Home Park, where it was used as a chapel that he named Minerva Chapel in honor of his mother. Brown sold the trailer park in 1988 and donated the chapel to Holy Spirit Anglican Catholic Church in Palm Springs. In August 2011, the chapel was moved to the Church of the Holy Guardian Angels, where it was renamed.

What it is: The purpose of the census is to serve as the main source of data about America’s people and economy. Their surveys provide critical information to governmental programs.

What it Does:The census results are used to reapportion seats in the House of Representatives, realign congressional districts, and formulate distributions of hundreds of billions in federal funding.

Why it matters:The census data shows the growth of the American population together with their changing values and interests. It also provides local and state governments the information they need to build schools, plan highways, and open businesses.

Ways to Make It Count:Each household will be receiving a letter in the mail which will offer four options for response:

• Online• Send a completed form by mail• Over the phone interview• Personal visit

Keep in mind, if you are mailed a form and you do not complete and mail it back, you may be contacted for a follow up phone call or personal visit. Fun Facts:

• Did you know that 80.4% of lantana residents, age 16 and older, are high school graduates?

• The first U.S. Census was taken in 1790, and estimated a total population of 3.9 million people.

• 1960 was the first year that residents were able to self-identify their race.

2018 Town Observed Holidays

Town Offices will be closed in observance of the following holidays

Big PictureThe peak for the US census was in 2010, where more than 1 million census workers counted roughly 310 million people. By contrast, the 1900 census employed 53,000 workers counting about 76 million people. It is very important for the US Census Bureau to get an accurate count of the population as federal funding and congressional representation is based on census data. The census data helps federal government distribute more than $675 billion in funds annually for infrastructure we use in our every day lives like schools and hospitals.

“Just like we can’t survive without roads and bridges, the country doesn’t function well without an updated Census to distribute funds to areas that most need them and to support community decisions about their own future.”– – Robert M. Groves, Director of the United States Census Bureau

Our CommunityCensus participation helps better our community as a whole.

Census numbers allow The Town to make more effective decisions about their residents, future developments, and town improvements. Each participating town receives $1,400 in funding per resident who fills out a form. That money will be put back into the town budget which will aid in preventing the increase of taxes.

Nonpayment of a utility bill shall constitute sufficient reason for utility service to be interrupted.

Termination of service shall occur on the next business day after the termination date printed on the

monthly utility bill. The customer will be responsible for any reconnect/processing fees associated with

service interruption. It shall be the customer’s responsibility to notify the Town of non‐receipt of their

utility bill prior to termination. Failure to receive a bill does not prevent service interruption.

Once per month, your meter is read and you are billed. The balance will become due fifteen (15) days

from the mailing date. A delinquent notice will be mailed prior to service interruption for non‐payment.

A penalty/late fee is applied to the account at 4:00 pm on the 21st day on any balance remaining that is

greater than $25.00. Disconnection for non‐payment will occur on the 27th day.

If utility service is interrupted for nonpayment, a $55.00 reconnect/processing fee will be required to be

paid in addition to any past due balance in order to reinstate service. If this service is performed after

normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. or on holidays), the

reconnect/processing fee shall be $75.00. Failure to pay any amounts owed the Town may result in a lien

being placed on the property at the utility service address.

If a customer wishes to contest a utility bill, he/she may do so by requesting a hearing. To request a

hearing, the customer must notify the Town in writing prior to the due date. A hearing will be scheduled

at the customer’s convenience during normal business hours within ten (10) days of the request. The

designated hearing officer shall have the authority to make adjustments to a bill if conditions warrant

such action. The customer will be notified of the hearing results either at the conclusion of the hearing

or by mail within ten (10) days of the hearing. Regardless of the hearing date, the outcome of the

hearing, or final decision of the hearing officer, the bill must be paid in full prior to the termination date.

month’s bill.
