“Municipal” refers to anything related to a municipality, which is a local government entity typically responsible for governing a specific geographic area such as a city, town, or village. Municipalities have the authority to enact and enforce laws, regulations, and ordinances within their jurisdiction. They provide essential public services such as police and fire protection, waste management, utilities, and transportation infrastructure. Municipal governments are usually structured with elected officials, including a mayor or city manager and a city council or board of aldermen, who make decisions on behalf of the community.
