Who Does What?

Overview

Just as there are many forms of local government, there are many different local government officials. 

• Some of them are elected.
• Some of them are appointed.
• Some of them are hired.
• Some roles are specific to municipalities.
• Some roles are specific to counties.

The duties may vary depending on the form of government used by your city or county. 

There may be local variations as city councils, county commissioners, or administrators try to manage the workloads of local government employees.
