Residential Property Guide

Moving Guide

The Manning Community is just that--a community.  Manning is big enough to have nearly every business service you may need or want, but small enough to have the safety, friendliness, and quality of life you're looking for.  The amenities Manning offers are more than many bigger communities can offer!  Including a community-owned 24-hour Rec Center with indoor pool, a state-of-the art hospital, beautiful parks, and historical attractions.  When moving to Manning, you will quickly find that your neighbors become friends, you'll be on a first name basis with your service providers, and the local restaurants know your favorite foods as well as you do.  Whether moving from a busy big city or a stifling smaller town, you'll find Manning, its residents, and its amenities refreshing.

Residential Laws of Interest

YARD WASTE DISPOSAL:  The City maintains a community burn pile for your yard waste.  Grass clippings, tree branches, etc. can be dropped off at it anytime.  It's located along Railroad Street.  Please remember to sort the grass, leaves and twigs from the larger branches.

ONE-WAY MAIN STREET:  If you haven't visited or noticed yet, Manning's Main Street (starting 1 block north of Highway 141) is one-way traffic going North only. 

PETS:  Manning residents license their pets.  This helps so that if your pet runs away, the City can call the contact number you gave them rather than just bring them to the pound.  Stop at City Hall to register your dog or cat.

OVERNIGHT PARKING:  In order to make snow removal easier, there is no overnight parking on any City Street from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. from November 1 to April 1.
