Municipal Government Act

The Municipal Government Act is a law that provides the legal framework for how local governments—such as cities, towns, and municipalities—are organized, governed, and operate. It outlines their powers, responsibilities, and decision-making processes, including things like local services, land use, budgeting, and elections. The Act ensures that municipal governments function effectively within their communities, following rules to serve residents and manage resources responsibly. Essentially, it sets the standards and guidelines that help municipalities run smoothly and make decisions beneficial for their residents.
