The city manager carries out policy and administers city programs. All department heads -- including the city attorney, police chief and fire chief -- are ultimately responsible to the city manager.

Sugar Land is a full-service municipality providing the highest quality of affordable services to meet the needs of its citizens. Master-planned communities and welcoming neighborhoods enhance home values and create a sense of belonging.
