The main City of Lake Worth phone number is 561-586-1600, which rings the City Hall switchboard at 7 North Dixie Highway and can transfer you to any department. Note that voters renamed the city from “Lake Worth” to “Lake Worth Beach” in March 2019, so current directories list it under the longer name. For most everyday needs, a direct department line will get you help faster than the main switchboard.
