What We Do
The League of Arizona Cities and Towns provides an important link among the 91 incorporated cities and towns in Arizona. The League is the only organization that connects each and every municipality regardless of size or geographic location. In these increasingly challenging times, the League continually strives to better assist Arizona's cities and towns. We represent the collective interests of cities and towns at the State Legislature, provide timely information on important municipal issues, create skill-sharpening workshops and develop networking opportunities - just to name a few of the services the League provides.
Legislative Issues
During the legislative session and throughout the year, the League staff meets with legislators and other special interest groups to represent the interests of cities and towns. We carefully monitor and track each bill of municipal concern that is introduced during the session. We spend a great deal of our time attending and testifying at committee hearings on bills of municipal interest. View more information about the League's legislative program.

Technical assistance is provided to cities and towns through a variety of methods including responding to phone inquiries, legal counsel, writing and editing technical publications and manuals, online services, archive collections and historical information.
Information & Inquiry Service
