Municipal Commissioner is a title used in the municipal governments of several countries.
In India, the municipal commissioner is the factor executive head of government of a municipal corporation, the form of government which is granted to a city of over one million in population. While a mayor is elected to serve as the titular head of state of a municipal corporation, a municipal commissioner is appointed by the state government from the Indian Administrative Service and mostly from Provincial Civil Service to head the administrative staff of the Municipal Corporation, implement the decisions of the Corporation and prepare its annual budget.
Municipal commissioner is a common translation of Swedish: kommunalråd, or - in Stockholm - borgarråd, which is an office and political title in the municipalities of Sweden for councillors with executive responsibilities. The Commissioners are the only full-time employed office-holders outside the municipal civil service. The municipal commissioner is elected by the municipal council, which in turn is elected in general elections.
The office of the Municipal Commissioner is a former government department in the Canadian province of Manitoba, established by the government of John Norquay in 1887. The government of Douglas Campbell restructured the department as the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in 1953, after taking on increased responsibilities.
The longest-serving Municipal Commissioner was Duncan Lloyd McLeod, who held the position for almost thirteen years.
