Town With County Rights
A city with county rights (or urban county, Hungarian language, Hungarian: ''megyei jogú város'', MJV) is a level of administrative subdivision in Hungary. Since 1994 all county seats are automatically awarded this status, and between 2012–2022 this was the only way a city could earn county rights. All cities earned this status before 2012 have retained their status and there is no way to revoke the title by the law. From 2006 until 2022, there were 23 cities with county rights, and 25 since 1 May 2022. Before 1950, cities with former "municipal rights" ''(törvényhatósági jogú város)'' had a similar status as the present urban counties.

The representative body is the General Assembly ''(közgyűlés)'' which elects with the County Assembly a council that takes care of different t ...
