The basic unit of local government in Quebec is the municipality, also called ''local municipality'' to distinguish it from the higher-level regional county municipality or RCM, which is said to be at the ''supralocal'' level.
Eight municipalities are further subdivided into boroughs.
There are also eleven agglomerations grouping a number of municipalities and exercising some of the powers which, elsewhere in Quebec, would be exercised by a municipality.
With the exception of some Aboriginal communities, municipalities are governed by the ''Towns and Cities Act'' and the ''Municipal Code of Québec''.
