{{Main|Obec|List of cities and towns in the Czech Republic}}

In [[Czech Republic|Czechia]], a municipality can obtain the title of a [[statutory city (Czech Republic)|city]] ({{langx|cs|statutární město}}), town ({{langx|cs|město}}) or [[Městys|market town]] ({{langx|cs|městys}}). The title is granted by law.

Statutory cities (in English usually called just "cities"), which are defined by law no. 128/2000 Coll.,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.zakonyprolidi.cz/cs/2000-128|title=Consolidated version of Law no. 128/200 Coll|publisher=Zakonyprolidi.cz|language=cs|date=15 May 2000|access-date=18 April 2018}}</ref> can define their own self-governing municipal districts. There are 26 such cities, in addition to [[Prague]], which is a ''de facto'' statutory city. All the Czech municipalities with more than 40,000 inhabitants are cities.

Town and market town are above all ceremonious honorary degrees, referring to population, history and regional significance of a municipality. [[Obec#Statistics|As the statistics of Czech municipalities]] shows, towns usually have between 1,000 and 35,000 inhabitants, with median around 4,000 and average around 6,500. Nowadays a municipality must have at least 3,000 inhabitants to have the right to request the town title. Market towns usually have between 500 and 4,000 inhabitants, with median and average both around 1,000.
