Local governments in Virginia are political subdivisions created by the General Assembly. The units of local government in Virginia are counties, towns, and cities. Local governments exercise legislative, executive, and judicial powers.

Counties All Virginia counties have an elected Board of Supervisors that exercises legislative powers, enact ordinances (local laws), and adopt an annual budget. All Virginia counties have an elected or appointed School Board that oversees the operation of the K-12 public schools in the county

Towns All Virginia towns have an elected Town Council that exercises legislative powers, enact ordinances and adopts the town’s annual budget. A mayor is elected either by the voters or the Town Council members.

Cities All Virginia cities have an elected City Council that exercises legislative powers, enacts ordinances and adopts an annual budget. A mayor is elected by the voters or the City Council members. All Virginia cities/counties have an elected or appointed School Board that oversees the operation of the K-12 public schools in the city/county.

In Virginia counties, towns, and cities, a manager may be hired by the elected legislative branch to oversee the operations of the local government.

In every Virginia locality, courts resolve judicial disputes. Judges of the circuit courts, district courts, juvenile and domestic relations courts, and small claims courts hear cases in each locality.

The Virginia Constitution requires that voters in every locality elect a sheriff, a clerk of the circuit court, a commissioner of revenue, and a treasurer.
