Annapolis government

Annapolis is the seat of the state and county governments. It is also the home of its own municipal government.

The city operates with an elected council consisting of aldermen from the city's eight wards and a full-time mayor. The mayor serves at-large and has a vote on the council.

Annapolis has its own police, fire, transportation and public works departments. Anne Arundel County is in charge of the public school system.

City residents pay property taxes to the city and the county but receive a reduced rate on their county taxes.
