District

word looked up :


	District Districts are a form of local government in several countries.

England

Districts are the most recognisable form of local government in large parts of England. For those areas which retain two-tier local government, districts usually form the lower tier of that arrangement, with counties forming the upper tier. Districts tend to have responsibility for a number of areas including:

tax collection (Council Tax & Non-Domestic Rates[?])
Leisure Services
Refuse collection
Housing
Planning
Arts & Entertainment
Environmental Health

Each district raises taxes from residents on behalf of itself, and the upper tier authority through the Council Tax. It also raises income from business through the Non-Domestic Rates[?] system, which is co-ordinated nationally.

Germany

A district ("Kreis") is a subdivision of a Regierungsbezirk, an administrative region (or, in those states that do not contain administrative regions, of a state). See also: list of German districts.

Thailand

A district ("amphoe") is a subdivision of a Province ("changwat") in Thailand. Some provinces also contain sub-districts ("king amphoe"), which are smaller then the average district.

Japan

A district (gun in Japanese) is a local administrative unit comprising towns[?] and villages[?] but not cities[?]. See district (japan) for more complete discription.
