{{Main|Local government in the Isle of Man}}
Local government on the Isle of Man is based partly on the island's 17 ancient parishes. There are four types of local authorities:
* a [[municipal corporation|corporation]] for the [[Douglas, Isle of Man|City of Douglas]] and bodies of commissioners for the town districts of [[Castletown, Isle of Man|Castletown]], [[Peel, Isle of Man|Peel]] and [[Ramsey, Isle of Man|Ramsey]]
* the districts of [[Kirk Michael]] and [[Onchan]]
* the village districts of [[Port Erin]] and [[Port St Mary]]
* the 13 parish districts (those historic parishes, or combinations or parts of them, which do not fall within the districts previously mentioned).

Each of these districts has its own body of commissioners.
