Local Government Code

The Local Government Code is a set of laws that outlines how local governments, such as cities and counties, operate in a specific jurisdiction. It covers their structure, powers, and responsibilities, including how they manage public services, enforce regulations, and handle finances. The code ensures that local governments can function effectively while providing guidelines for accountability, transparency, and citizen participation in local governance. Essentially, it serves as a rulebook for local governments to follow in order to serve their communities better and uphold democratic principles.
