Which of the following statements is correct regarding types of municipalities?

  1. A multi-tier municipality must contain three or more lower-tier municipalities.

  2. A major responsibility of a multi-tier municipality is the creation and enforcement of zoning bylaws.

  3. The city of Hamilton is an example of a two-tier municipality.

  4. A single-tier municipality handles all municipal responsibilities including local planning.

  5. A lower-tier municipality requires approval from the upper-tier for any amendments to zoning bylaws.

  6. The governance structure of single-tier municipalities includes multiple administrative layers.

The correct answer is: A single-tier municipality handles all municipal responsibilities including local planning.

The correct statement regarding municipalities is that a single-tier municipality handles all municipal responsibilities, including local planning. This type of municipality operates independently and is solely responsible for providing all local services, such as land use planning, public safety, and infrastructure, without the need for an upper-tier municipality. In contrast, multi-tier municipalities consist of an upper tier and one or more lower-tier municipalities, where each level has specific responsibilities that may not cover all aspects of local governance. The complexity of governance in multi-tier systems can lead to overlaps and jurisdictional challenges, while single-tier municipalities streamline decision-making and service delivery since there is no division in responsibilities. The other statements either mischaracterize the structure and function of municipalities or focus on incorrect governance dynamics. For instance, while multi-tier municipalities do enforce zoning bylaws, that responsibility is not exclusive to them and often resides within lower-tier municipalities as well. Additionally, the city of Hamilton operates as a single-tier municipality following restructuring, not a two-tier one.
