Running At Large Prohibited – We have had several verbal complaints of various dogs running at large throughout the city. Some of these verbal complaints have stated dogs have growled at them as they are walking. Ordinance Chapter 205 - Section 205.030 Running At Large Prohibited states “It shall be unlawful for the owner or keeper of any dog or cat to permit the same to run at large within the City of Miller at any time.” Legal action may be taken against those who continually allow their dog(s) to run at large.
Town Hall Meeting June 25th @ 7:00 pm at the Senior Center – In February the aldermen adopted a five-year comprehensive plan for the City of Miller. This plan will be presented to the residents at this meeting. This will give residents an opportunity to understand what the city’s plans/projects are for the near future.

Building Inspector, Building Permit & Building Fees – The City of Miller has a Building Inspector. Per City Ordinance every project requires a building permit, but not every permit assesses fees or needs an inspection. It is also imperative to communicate with the city regarding your project to ensure you are following all code requirements; perimeter set-backs, city utility meter and line locations kept clear and accessible, keeping alleys clear, etc.
Penny Shortage – Since the US Treasury stopped producing the penny in November 2025, we are experiencing a penny shortage at City Hall. When you pay cash for your city’s utility bill, if you request your change, we will credit your account with the amount due to you in pennies. For example, if your bill is $42.47 and you pay $43.00, your account will show a payment of $42.50. You will receive change in the amount of $.50. This is for cash payments only. The City of Miller accepts payments in the form of cash, check, debit/credit card (3.5% fee), money order, or check from your bank that you set up for them to pay, etc. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact City Hall at 417-452-3371.
After hours water / sewer emergencies only 417-205-5006.
