A single-tier municipality doesn't form part of an upper-tier municipality and assumes all municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation. A lower-tier municipality forms part of an upper-tier municipality. Municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation are split between the upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities.

An upper-tier municipality is made up of 2 or more lower-tier municipalities. Municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation are split between the upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities. A lower-tier municipality forms part of an upper-tier municipality. Municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation are split between the upper-tier and lower-tier municipalities. A single-tier municipality doesn't form part of an upper-tier municipality and assumes all municipal responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation. Territorial districts are geographic areas in northern Ontario. They are described in the Territorial Division Act, and are composed of municipalities, geographic townships and un-surveyed territory.

This data set can be used to identify upper tier municipalities, single tier municipalities, and districts.

Upper tier municipalities are two or more lower tier municipalities that form for municipal purposes. Municipal responsibilities have been set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation are split between the upper tier and lower tier municipalities.

Single tier municipalities are municipalities that do not form part of an upper tier municipality for municipal purposes and assumes all responsibilities set out under the Municipal Act and other Provincial legislation.

Districts (or territorial districts) are geographic areas in northern Ontario, which are described in the Territorial Division Act, and are composed of municipalities, geographic townships, and unsurveyed territory. This layer is part of what was known as the OMNR Fundamental Dataset.

Graph and download economic data for Rest of the World; Municipal Securities Issued by State and Local Governments; Asset, Level (BOGZ1FL263062125A) from 1945 to 2019 about municipal, issues, state & local, securities, assets, and government.

This data set is obtained from the survey "Local Government Organization at Municipal and County Level, 2004" which was performed by the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional research (NIBR) on behalf of the Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development (KRD). The aim of this study was to collect data to KRDs organization database. This database provides data on various aspects of municipal organization in most municipalities and counties in Norway. The purpose of the database is to provide a tool that makes it possible for municipalities, counties, state governments, researchers and others interested in municipal organization, to obtain an overview of important organizational feature of the municipalities and county municipalities, either together or separately. The database is currently based on surveys made in 1995, 1996, 2000 and 2004. It is envisaged that the database will be updated every four years, after each municipal and county elections.

This file contains data for Norwegian counties collected in 2004. The data set is divided into four main sections:

1. Political Organization
2. Administrative organization
3. Information and communication
4. Competition exposure / use of market mechanisms

This GIS dataset contains growth tier maps adopted by local (county and municipal) jurisdictions under SB236. Data are generally collected from county and municipal jurisdictions by the Maryland Department of Planning (Planning) or digitized by Planning in coordination with local jurisdictions. For more information about SB236, see Planning’s Septics Law Implementation Website at https://planning.maryland.gov/Pages/OurWork/SB236Implementation.aspxThis document describes standard operating procedures for aggregating growth tier map GIS data. These procedures may not apply to historical data (i.e. records for which both the SRC_DATE and GIS_SRC fields are blank). For example, Planning may have realigned historical data from local jurisdictions to parcel polygon boundaries or used different procedures to represent municipal tiers when municipalities concurred with county tier maps.Planning generally requests updated GIS data once a jurisdiction notifies Planning that a growth tier map has been amended. Aggregated data may be outdated or incomplete if Planning has not yet received or processed GIS updates from jurisdictions. Planning generally does not alter geometries received from the local jurisdictions except to divide municipal tiers at the county boundary (see JURSCODE field description). This dataset may contain overlap where multiple jurisdictions designate tiers in the same area.Fields include:JURSCODE – MdProperty Viewjurisdiction code (four-letter county or Baltimore City code). For tiers designated by counties, this is the jurisdiction responsible for designating the growth tier. For tiers designated by municipalities, this is the jurisdiction in which the growth tier is physically located. Municipal tiers that cross counties are divided at the county boundary so this field can be populated. See the MUNI field for the municipality responsible for designating a municipal tier.County – Full name of the jurisdiction represented by the JURSCODE.MUNI – The name of the municipality responsible for designating the tier. This field will be blank (‘ ‘) if the tier has been designated by a county. The MUNI field is formatted consistently with municipality names in the Planning’s municipal boundary datasets. When municipalities adopt tier maps by concurring with county tiers instead of submitting tier data independently, the MUNI field remains blank within the entire county tier map dataset. Depending on internal needs, an independent municipal tier dataset may or may not be generated by Planning and included within the aggregated tiers.TIER – Growth tier identifier used by the source jurisdiction and standardized as Tier 1, Tier 1A, Tier 2, Tier 2A, Tier 3, and Tier 4. May include additional alphabetical annotations used by the jurisdictions such as Tier 2B. If the TIER_CODE field is 99, the TIER field retains the descriptor provided by the jurisdiction, which may be a blank or null value.TIER_CODE – Integer field containing the growth tier standardized by Planning: 1 (Tier I); 11 (Tier IA or any other annotated version of Tier I, such as IB, etc.); 2 (Tier II), 22 (Tier IIA or any other annotated version of Tier II, such as IIB, etc.); 3 (Tier III); 4 (Tier IV); 44 (Areas annotated as Tier IVA for municipal greenbelts or any other annotated version of Tier IV); 99 – Areas included in the jurisdiction’s growth tier GIS data that are not assigned a tier, such as rights-of-way or water.Adopt_Date – Date growth tier map was adopted or amended. When a local jurisdiction updates its growth tier map, Planning generally requests a comprehensive GIS update to replace all existing data for the jurisdiction.Acres – GIS acres calculated by Planning in NAD83 Meters (EPSG 26985)GIS_SRC (GIS Source) – The original source of the GIS spatial and attribute information Planning obtained, which concatenates the JURSCODE field (or MUNI field for municipal tier maps), followed by a space, followed by the name of the shapefile or feature class received from the jurisdiction. Field contains “MDP” if tiers were digitized by Planning, and is blank (‘ ‘) for historical data.SRC_DATE (GIS Source Date) – The date (YYYYMMDD) the GIS data were obtained by Planning from the local jurisdiction. If the month or day is unknown, the date is YYYY0000. If Planning digitized the growth tier map in coordination with a local jurisdiction, this should be the date Planning’s edits are verified by the jurisdiction. This field will be blank (‘ ’) if Planning’s edits have not been verified or if the dataset is historical and the source is unknown.NOTE – Text field containing additional notes about the dataLast Updated: 7/26/2023This is a Maryland Department of Planning hosted service.

An urban planning document is the result of an urban planning procedure in a given territory. This file lists all existing planning documents on a given department, i.e. local planning plans, land use plans and communal maps that have been digitised in the form of geographical data.The local planning plan is the main planning document at the municipal level or in some intercommunal cases. It was created by the Solidarity and Urban Renewal Act (SRU) of 13 December 2000, not only to replace the land use plan (POS) in setting land use rules, but more broadly to establish the establishment of a land project in a local strategic document. Unlike its predecessor, it contains a development and sustainable development project (PADD), a non-opposable document explaining a certain vision for the territory. The PLU generally covers the entire municipal territory with the exception of the sectors already covered by a safeguard and development plan (PSMV), the development and development sectors of intercommunal interest identified by a SCOT.It is not mandatory for a municipality to establish a PLU. With the SRU Act of 13 December 2000, municipal maps acquire the status of urban planning documents. They are an alternative, at the same time, to the drawing up of a local planning plan and the application of the rule of limited constructability, by offering, in particular, municipalities, rural or peri-urban, a simplified tool for planning and managing the space adapted to their situation and needs. Municipal maps thus occupy an intermediate position between the local planning plans and the national planning regulations.The absence of an enforceable urban planning document entails the application of the principle of limited constructability (Article L.111-1-2 of the Urban Planning Code) and the various authorisations are in this case investigated by applying the general urban planning rules.Each new version of a digital urban planning document corresponds to a record in the table. Digital documents that are no longer enforceable are kept with a “cancelled” state and a specified end date of validity (i.e. datefin field).The absence of an enforceable urban planning document (PLU, POS or municipal map) results in the application of the principle of limited constructability (Article L.111-1-2 of the Urban Planning Code) and in this case the various authorisations are investigated by applying the general planning rules.

The population was compiled from available census reports and validated using other available datasets. For each country, population counts from the finest resolution was trended to 2010 using a country-specific annual growth rate assumptions. Underlying vector geometry comes from regional sources, primarily SPC. Primary Data Source(s): PopGIS, Federated States of Micronesia Division of Statistics Secondary Data Source(s): None Geographical Resolutions Available (with count): 1. State (4) 2. Municipality (421) 3. Electoral District (373) Additional Comments: 1. The Electoral District and Municipality geographical resolutions are not related to each other and are roughly at the same level of granularity but with different defined boundaries. 2. This population database is misaligned due to the source data provided in the SPC?s PopGIS data set. This misalignment is not linear and the largest measured misalignment in a significantly populated region is approximately 500 meters. After the creation of this deliverable we received updated boundary files from SPC. These boundary files have not been integrated into the delivered population database. Complied by AIR Worldwide
