Our solutions for local authorities
Local authorities, or regional authorities, are legal entities governed by public law that are separate from the State, exercising their prerogatives in addition to the State's actions in a given territory: municipality, intermunicipal authority (EPCI such as a community of municipalities, urban community, or metropolis), department, or region. They have an executive body and a deliberative assembly elected by universal suffrage.
Overseas local authorities include the former overseas departments and territories. All employ local civil servants, headed by a director general of services (DGS).
