Most licensing and permitting in the City of La Porte is handled through the Permitting and Inspections Division of the Planning Department.
The City Secretary’s Office is responsible for the issuance of certain permits and licenses.
Alcoholic beverage and liquor licensing is conducted through the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. The TABC application should be accompanied by a $15 permitting fee (email CitySecretary@LaPorteTX.gov to make the payment electronically - the full process will go online in summer 2023). All tax accounts with the City must be current for permitting/licensing to be completed.
