We hope this compilation of publications and other resources will help both local officials and members of the public as they strive to understand and improve their municipalities. Return to the A to Z search and index page to peruse more topics.

Please remember that the laws governing municipalities and local governments are ever changing. We always recommend noting the date of the document, taking a look at the relevant statutes, and, if possible, checking in with the organization that produced the document. As always, requests for legal advice and legal opinions should be directed to a private attorney.
