Alcoholic Beverage Permit

The Office of the City Secretary processes applications to allow alcohol sales within the City of Manor ensuring compliance with local ordinances and regulations.  Establishments shall be located in the correct zoning district for alcohol sales. Applicants must first apply for a permit through the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) and route the application through the City and County. The City's process takes approximately 1-2 business days.  

Alcoholic Beverage Establishments in Neighborhood Business zoned areas require a Specific Use Permit prior to receiving a site development permit, building permit, tenant finish out permit, or certificate of occupancy.
