For the French rapper, see [[Vald (rapper)]]''~~ A '''[[municipality]]''' ({{lang-et\|omavalitsus}}, plural {{lang\|et\|omavalitsused}}) is the smallest administrative subdivision of [[Estonia]]. Each municipality is a unit of self-government with its representative and executive bodies. The municipalities in Estonia cover the entire territory of the country. Municipalities in Estonia are of two types: '''Urban municipalities''' or '''towns''' ({{lang\|et\|linnad}}, singular {{lang\|et\|linn}}) '''Rural municipalities''' or '''[[Parish (administrative division)\|parish]]es''' ({{lang\|et\|vallad}}, singular {{lang\|et\|vald}}). There is no other status distinction between them. Municipalities may contain one or several [[Populated places in Estonia\|settlements]]. All but 5 urban municipalities ([[Haapsalu (urban municipality)\|Haapsalu]], [[Narva-Jõesuu (urban municipality)\|Narva-Jõesuu]], [[Paide (urban municipality)\|Paide]], [[Pärnu (urban municipality)\|Pärnu]] and [[Tartu (urban municipality)\|Tartu]]) plus 61 rural ~~municipalities~~municipality ([[Ruhnu Parish\|Ruhnu]]) contain only one settlement. OfAs ~~the latter~~of ~~six~~2017, 5there are ~~so-called~~no longer any "borough-parishes", ~~consisting~~i.e. ofrural municipalities with only one borough,-type ~~while~~settlement. [[Ruhnu Parish]] ~~consists~~contains ofonly one village and is therefore a "village-parish". Some municipalities are divided into districts. The 8 urban districts ({{lang\|et\|linnaosad}}, singular {{lang\|et\|linnaosa}}) of Tallinn have limited self-government, while other urban districts are formed for administrative purposes. Some rural districts ({{lang\|et\|osavallad}}) have limited self-government, while other types of rural districts do not. Municipalities range in population from [[Tallinn]] with 427,500 inhabitants to [[Ruhnu]] with 68.<ref name=einst.ee>{{cite web \|url=http://www.einst.ee/factsheets/factsheets_uus_kuju/local_government_reform.htm \|title=~~Archived~~Estonian ~~copy~~Institute www.einst.ee \|access-date=2002-06-19 \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020619141032/http://www.einst.ee/factsheets/factsheets_uus_kuju/local_government_reform.htm \|archive-date=2002-06-19 }}</ref> Previously, as over two-thirds of the municipalities had a population of under 3,000, many of them found it advantageous to co-operate in providing services and carrying out administrative functions. ~~Currently, after~~After the [[Administrative reform of Estonia\|administrative reform]] was completed in October 2017, there are total of 79 municipalities, 15 of which are urban and 64 rural. 51 of the present municipalities were the result of mergers, 28 remain unchanged. After the reform small municipalities with under 5,000 inhabitants have been reduced from a number of 169 to 15. The number of councillors was reduced from 2,026 to 1,019. In 2022, 36 municipalities (45.56%) had falling population numbers.
