Sistema de financiamiento urbano de Bahamas
Bahamas es una monarquía constitucional parlamentaria, con dos niveles de gobierno: nacional y local. La Ley de Gobierno Local de 1996 es la principal legislación que los regula y los clasifica entre el segundo escalafón, compuesto por comités municipales, y el tercer escalafón, compuesto por consejos de distrito.
Los gobiernos locales de Bahamas no están facultados para generar ingresos propios, sino que dependen principalmente de las transferencias del gobierno a través del fondo consolidado.
