Sugar Land City Services

Permits & Inspections

The city of Sugar Land is moving permits, license, and plan submittal processes to online intake only. The Citizen Self Service (CSS) web portal will provide dynamic access to information and empower you to efficiently perform a wide range of tasks at the click of a button. This transition is another example of our commitment to use technology to ensure the delivery of services that meet the needs of our community, demographics and businesses.

Sugar Land Power

Texas’s deregulated energy market allows customers to select the electricity provider of their choice, as well as the ability to change service providers at any time. In Sugar Land, TX CenterPoint Energy provides and maintains the electric infrastructure for each electric distributor, enabling businesses and residents within the city limits access to the power grid with affordable rates. 

Sugar Land Gas Service

CenterPoint Energy is also the Sugar Land gas company, providing natural gas to the region. Large industrial consumers have other options for purchasing gas, including long-term contracts with rates varying on specific factors. 

Water & Wastewater

Serving the incorporated city limits, the City of Sugar Land Water Utilities Division offers 24-hour on-call service and oversees the administration and operation of the city’s water production and treatment, water distribution, wastewater collection, wastewater treatment and customer service. The city’s water supply, winner of the Best Tasting Water in America (2019) by the AWWA, is a combination of well water and treated surface water from Oyster Creek and the Brazos River. 

Telephone

Sugar Land residents enjoy communications infrastructure that is provided and maintained by AT&T, and is further distributed through several providers.

Internet

When it comes to digitally connecting with the world, Sugar Land’s fiber optic network makes DSL high speed bandwidth and the option for high-speed internet service via cable more accessible than ever. 

Infrastructure

Sugar Land city services can thrive due to the city’s unique location off major Interstate 69/U.S. Highway 59 and 90 and State Highway 6. Sugar Land has the infrastructure needed to transport goods throughout Texas and across the United States, as well as around the world. 

With its close proximity to Houston infrastructure, including I-10, I-45, and U.S Highway 290, Sugar Land is connected to other large Texas cities, including the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, San Antonio, and Austin, as well as other major cities across the United States.  Transportation and distribution is simple in Sugar Land.

The Port of Houston, located on the East side of Houston Loop 610, is a short 30 miles from the heart of Sugar Land, and Port Freeport is a little over an hour’s drive, easily accessible via State Highway 6 to State Highway 288, which runs directly to the port.
