Civic administration in Tezpur is managed by the Tezpur Municipal Board (TMB), which is responsible for sanitation, water supply, local roads, and urban planning. The city is divided into multiple wards, each represented by an elected ward commissioner.
As the administrative headquarters of the Sonitpur district, Tezpur houses the office of the District Commissioner (DC), who oversees revenue, law and order, and developmental projects for the entire district.
Politically, Tezpur falls under the Tezpur Lok Sabha (parliamentary) constituency and elects members to the Assam Legislative Assembly. The city benefits from robust public services, partially augmented by the infrastructural support of the nearby military cantonments.
