Ontario Municipalities

There are 444 municipalities in Ontario.

Below is a list organized by Regions, Counties, Districts and Single-Tiers.

REGIONS

A regional government is a federation of the local, lower tier municipalities within its boundaries. Regions are referred to as “upper tier” municipalities and provide services such as: arterial roads; transit; policing; sewer and water systems; waste disposal; region-wide land use planning and development; as well as health and social services. Depending on its size and its history, a local municipality may be called a city, a town, or a township or a village. They are also referred to as “lower tier” municipalities when there is another level of municipal government like a county or region involved in providing services to residents.

SINGLE-TIER

Single-tier municipalities exist across Ontario. They include separated municipalities that are geographically located within a county (see County list) but are not part of the county for the municipal purposes. Single-tier municipalities also include all northern municipalities (see Northern list) where there is no upper-tier governance at the District level. Finally single-tier municipalities include those former county or regional municipalities that have recently been amalgamated into single-tier municipality. Single-tier municipalities have responsibilities for all local services to their residents.|
