About Missouri

Missouri’s local governance includes 114 counties and the independent City of St. Louis, along with over 1,000 incorporated cities, towns, and villages. Counties provide regional services like public health and transportation, while cities and towns manage localized governance.

St. Louis, the only independent city in Missouri, operates separately from any county and has a mayor-council government structure. The mayor oversees city departments like public safety and urban development, while the Board of Aldermen sets policies and budgets. This separation allows St. Louis to manage its own services independently, with direct control over municipal functions.

Kansas City, Missouri‘s largest city, employs a council-manager system where the elected council provides legislative direction, and an appointed city manager handles daily administration. This model allows Kansas City to manage services such as public transportation, policing, and utilities, with the council focusing on broad policy and the manager on execution.

Missouri’s smaller cities and towns, like Springfield and Columbia, often use variations of the mayor-council or council-manager systems, depending on population and resources. This diversity in governance structures supports flexibility, enabling municipalities to adapt their administration based on local needs and governance preferences.

Rural counties, such as Boone County and Greene County, manage services in unincorporated areas, focusing on law enforcement, road maintenance, and zoning. County commissions, made up of elected representatives, oversee these services, especially in areas where population density is too low to support city governments.

Missouri’s regional planning commissions assist counties and municipalities with development, environmental planning, and infrastructure projects, encouraging collaboration across city and county lines to address regional challenges like transportation and economic development.
