Today, counties serve as little more than boundaries for the state's judicial and state marshal system. Connecticut's court jurisdictions still adhere to the old county boundaries, with the exception of Fairfield, Hartford, and New Haven counties, which have been further subdivided into multiple court jurisdictions due to their relatively large populations. </p><p>From 1666 to 1960, "weak" county governments existed in Connecticut, where each county commission had limited powers delegated to it by the General Assembly. Each county had a 3-member County Commission, whose members were appointed by the General Assembly; plus a Sheriff who was elected by the voters in each county. Initially, county governments had authority over: </p> <ul><li>County courts (transitioned to the State Judiciary in 1855)</li> <li>Construction and maintenance of county jails</li> <li>Resolving road disputes between towns</li> <li>Constructing and maintaining bridges to link adjacent towns</li> <li>Maintaining safe houses for neglected and/or abused children</li></ul> <p>County governments had no direct taxing authority; their funding was provided indirectly through set-asides from state and local taxes. During the first half of the 20th century, county governments were gradually phased out as the General Assembly transitioned powers from the county commissions to either the state government or to individual towns. By the time county governments were abolished by Public Act 152 in 1960, the only remaining responsibility of the county commissions was to oversee and maintain the county jails; those functions were transitioned to the state Department of Corrections or local police departments after the county commissions were disbanded. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Councils_of_governments">Councils of governments</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Local_government_in_Connecticut&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Councils of governments"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><span class="anchor" id="Regional_planning"></span> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Councils_of_governments_in_Connecticut" title="Councils of governments in Connecticut">Councils of governments in Connecticut</a></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Urban_planning" title="Urban planning">Urban planning</a> and <a href="/wiki/Councils_of_governments" class="mw-redirect" title="Councils of governments">Councils of governments</a></div> <p>In the 1980s the legislature established fifteen regional councils, which cluster towns with similar demographics into an administrative planning region, instead of adhering to the old county structure.

In practice, as is the case in most of New England, their authority has been very broadly construed, and there is a long-standing tradition of local autonomy. </p><p>Towns traditionally had the <a href="/wiki/Town_meeting" title="Town meeting">town meeting</a> form of government, which is still used by some of the 169 towns. Under Connecticut's Home Rule Act, any town is permitted to adopt its own local <a href="/wiki/Municipal_charter" title="Municipal charter">charter</a> and choose its own structure of government. The three basic structures of municipal government used in the state, with variations from place to place, are the <a href="/wiki/Selectman" class="mw-redirect" title="Selectman">selectman</a>–town meeting, <a href="/wiki/Mayor" title="Mayor">mayor</a>–<a href="/wiki/City_council" class="mw-redirect" title="City council">council</a>, and <a href="/wiki/City_manager" title="City manager">manager</a>–council.<sup id="cite_ref-LWVlocal_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-LWVlocal-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Nineteen towns are also <a href="/wiki/Municipal_corporation" title="Municipal corporation">incorporated</a> as cities; one town (<a href="/wiki/Naugatuck" class="mw-redirect" title="Naugatuck">Naugatuck</a>) is also incorporated as a borough. </p><p>A town may <a href="/wiki/Coterminous_municipality" title="Coterminous municipality">consolidate</a> with a city or borough that is coextensive with it.

However, except for one, all currently existing cities in Connecticut are consolidated with their parent town. Towns in Connecticut are allowed to adopt a city form of government without the need to re-incorporate as a city. Connecticut state law also makes no distinction between a consolidated town-city and a regular town. </p><p>There are currently twenty incorporated cities in Connecticut.

"Villages" in this local Connecticut sense have no separate legal/corporate existence from the town they are in, although a taxing district or volunteer fire department sharing the name of the village may exist for specific services. With some exceptions, people who reside within a village often identify with the town rather than the village. Some villages and named sections of towns and cities were formerly incorporated as boroughs. Some villages are associated with <a href="/wiki/Historic_district_(United_States)" class="mw-redirect" title="Historic district (United States)">historic districts</a> which can serve to preserve some part of their more historically well preserved areas. </p><p>Some village and section names are also used as <a href="/wiki/Post_office" title="Post office">post office</a> names or as the basis for naming <a href="/wiki/Census-designated_place" title="Census-designated place">census-designated places</a> (CDPs), although the postal delivery area or CDP associated with the name often is considerably larger than the associated village or section.

Examples of services provided include police and fire protection, maintenance of roads or public recreation facilities, or to provide various utilities. A <i>special tax district</i> has the right under Connecticut law to levy taxes on real estate and personal property within its borders. This tax is in addition to any taxes owed to parent town. It is formed when residents of the proposed district petition to create the district and successfully vote at public meeting or referendum to create the district; it cannot be unilaterally dissolved by the parent town. A <i>special service district</i> may also provide the same types of services, but is instead created by ordinance from the parent town.
