In the latest video installment from the North Carolina Land Use
Litigator, John Cooke and Mike Thelen get into the details of that
unique political species: the "municipality" (really, the
legal name for cities and towns). In this episode, Mike and
John address:
-- What is a "municipality" in North Carolina, and is it
different from a "county"?
-- What powers do municipalities possess that general State
government lacks, and why is there such a discrepancy between State
and municipal powers?
-- What kinds or types of powers do municipalities possess, and
how are these powers unique?
-- What are the effective means of working with and/or
communicating with a municipality, as a developing entity?
