The City office is located inside the Historic Train Depot, but does not maintain regular office hours. There is a Mayor, five Aldermen, and a City Administrator who was appointed by the City Council. All positions are voluntary. However, the City Adminstrator is the only paid position. The office of Marshal was abolished by ordinance shortly after the formation of the initial City Council. The primary constituents of the City are persons residing within the city limits. A secondary constituency are persons residing within the Extra-territorial jurisdiction of the City.

The regular meeting of the Board of Aldermen for the City of Coupland is held on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM at the media center of Coupland Junior High & High School.
