Local government in Georgia (country)

Local government in Georgia (Georgian: ადგილობრივი თვითმმართველობა, romanized: adgilobrivi tvitmmartveloba) is administered at the level of the subdivisions of Georgia, which are known as the units of self-government or municipalities (მუნიციპალიტეტი, munits'ipaliteti). The Georgian Law on Self Government categories settlements into towns or cities (ქალაქი, k'alak'i) or a unity of settlement (community; თემი, t'emi). Municipalities have defined boundaries, an administrative center, representative and executive bodies of government, and their own assets, budget, and income.
