The Community Development Department is responsible for facilitating, organizing and directing the city's growth and development. The department implements growth policies in accordance with Keller City Council-directed goals and objectives. It is comprised of two divisions to include planning and development and construction services activities.

The department provides coordination among other development-related departments through management of the Development Review Committee in order to expedite and advance the development projects in the most efficient manner. The department supports three city appointed boards: the Planning & Zoning Commission, the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee and the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
