§ 33002 Local Government Definition

• •A 'community' can be a city, county, or even a group like an Indian tribe.
• •The community must have some kind of local government powers.
• •It doesn’t have to be a big city—small groups with their own rules count too.

A small town has its own rules about where you can park your car.

That town is a 'community' because it makes and enforces its own local rules.
