Abstract

This Law defines the legal grounds for exercising local self-governance, powers of local authorities, rules for their establishment and operation, regulates their finances and property, their relations with citizens, with public authorities and with entities under public or private law, and sets forth the rules for carrying out state supervision and direct state administration of the activities of local authorities. Local self-government is the right and possibility of citizens of Georgia to solve, within the legislation of Georgia, local issues through local self-government bodies, in the interests of local population. A local self-governing unit is a municipality. A municipality is a settlement (self-governing city) with administrative boundaries, or an aggregation of settlements (self-governing community) with administrative boundaries and an administrative centre. A municipality shall have elected representative and executive bodies (the ‘Municipal Bodies’), a registered population and its own property, budget and revenue. A municipality is a legal entity under public law.
