Local government includes all governmental structures below the state level, including counties, cities, towns, school districts, and special districts that provide community services.
Local government delivers the services that most directly affect daily life, from schools to public safety to infrastructure maintenance.
Local government isn't completely autonomous—it operates under state authority and must comply with state and federal laws.
