The Village of Loch Lloyd is a political subdivision of the State of Missouri, incorporated in 2002 under the laws of the State of Missouri, Cass County. It consists of a government of 5 Trustees, 2 of whom are elected one year and 3 the next. The Board then elects a Chairman and a Clerk.

  • The Trustees are elected at-large.

A minimum of 2 meetings per year must be held with additional meetings scheduled when needed

The Village of Loch Lloyd was incorporated to prevent annexation by any adjoining municipality and to maintain our autonomy with regard to the orderly development of the community, avoidance of outside imposition of taxes and keeping our roads and amenities gated and private.

  1. Planning and zoning
  2. Issuance of building permits
  3. Maintenance of an Emergency Preparedness team and emergency equipment.
  4. Liaison with other State, County and Municipal organizations to provide cost effective services which are beyond our means to provide ourselves
  5. Maintenance of a website to keep citizens informed.

How Do We Differ from the HOAs?

  1. Our trustees are elected in accordance with State law at a polling place
  2. We observe State law as to open meetings and full transparency with respect to decisions.
  3. Since the Village of Loch Lloyd is a gated community with private streets and amenities such as the lake while the HOAs are our partners in caring for the community, we cannot use public funds for privately owned streets and amenities and protect our gated community status. When streets become public, they are subject to public access.

What does the future look like for the Village?

  • We have looked into becoming a 4th Class City and rejected that for the present but continue to monitor this possible transition.
  • At this point, there is no advantage to this transition as all necessary services are being provided and State law would require a complete restructuring of the Village as to ownership of infrastructure and lead to Village taxation.
  • Transfer of the roads or any private assets to the Village could significantly impact our ability to keep them private
