Local government in Ibagli exists at several levels. Most services are provided by eight districts and four cities. Varying levels of service are provided by two towns and 47 villages.
Districts
There are eight districts in Ibagli. All of Ibagli was located in a district until 1972, when the four cities were removed from the jurisdiction of their districts and constituted as unitary authorities. Districts have zoning authority, but little power to make any bylaws regulating other conduct. They are responsible for the maintenance of minor roads, parks, and public transport within their jurisdictions.
Villages
Until 1972, any group of landowners with contiguous property could form a village with powers to make certain local bylaws. While the ability to create new villages was removed in 1972, all villages created by that process continued to exist until 2009, when several villages in urban areas were merged into nearby cities. Villages with populations under 500 had most of their powers removed in 1972. Each village has a council with at least three members, but most of the councils in the smallest villages perform no functions locally and exist as purely ceremonial bodies.
