The local municipality (French: municipalité locale) is the lowest unit of local government in Quebec, Canada and is distinguished from the higher-level regional county municipality, or RCM, "a municipal government at the supralocal level."
Eight municipalities are further subdivided into boroughs.
There are also eleven agglomerations grouping number of municipalities and "exercising some of the powers that would be," exercised by a municipality elsewhere in Quebec.
With the exception of some Aboriginal communities, municipalities are governed by the Towns and Cities Act and the Municipal Code of Québec.
