Arizona State and Local Government Information

A guide to Arizona government information at the state, regional, county, and local levels.

Background

For an excellent introduction to understanding local government in Arizona, Arizona Local Government located in Government Documents, is highly recommended. For the bigger picture of local governments in the United States, please refer to the Census of Governments. 

Special purpose governments make up the majority of local governments in Arizona. Special purpose local governments provide a specific service (such as fire protection, water delivery, etc.) for a specified area or population. Current laws regarding Arizona special districts are available from Title 48 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Arizona school districts (which are not currently part of our library collection) also fall into this category, with basic principles found in Article 11 of the Arizona Constitution and current laws found in Title 15 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.

    The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
