The [[Constitution of Brazil|1988 Brazilian Constitution]] treats the municipalities as parts of the Federation and not simply dependent subdivisions of the states. Each municipality has an autonomous local government, comprising a mayor and a legislative body (''Câmara Municipal''). Both the local government and the legislative body are directly elected by the population every four years. These elections take place at the same time all over the country; the last [[Brazilian municipal elections, 2012|municipal elections]] were held on October 07, 2012. Each municipality has the constitutional power to approve its own laws and collects taxes and also receives funds from the state and federal governments.

However, municipal governments have no judicial power, and courts are only organised at the state or federal level. A subdivision of the state judiciary, or ''[[comarca]]'', can either correspond to an individual municipality or encompass several municipalities.

The seat of the municipal administration is denominated city, with no consideration from the law about the population, area or facilities. The city has the same name of the municipality. Municipalities can be subdivided, only for administrative purposes, in districts (normally, new municipalities are formed from these districts). Other populated sites are villages, but with no legal effects or regulation.
