What are the main differences between county-level cities and counties?

The main differences between county-level cities and counties are:

1, different subordinate levels, different permissions.

County governments are directly managed by prefecture-level city governments or administrative offices, while county-level cities are generally directly managed by the provincial government and managed by prefecture-level city governments. Due to the different subordinate levels, the county-level municipal government has a bigger management authority than the county government, and often has the approval authority of "deputy prefecture-level cities". The province will give some preferential policies to county-level cities, such as increasing the financial working capital by more than 2 million per year.

2. Different urbanization processes have different functional priorities.

The focus of county government functions is in rural areas, and the urbanization process is accelerated after the county is changed to the city. The function of county-level city government must consider urban and rural management at the same time, and pay attention to coordinating the relationship between urban and rural areas, one of which is urban construction, which is the key difference from county-level government. County-level cities generally increase the intensity of urban construction, and start from all aspects to achieve high-standard urban construction.

3. Different names of cities and counties have different standards for measuring government effectiveness.

After the county was changed to the city, the standard for measuring the efficiency of the government was higher. First, provincial and prefecture-level municipal governments have higher requirements for county-level municipal governments than county-level governments, and the pilot of institutional reform is often placed in county-level cities. Second, citizens have higher requirements for the image of the mayor than for the image of the county magistrate. The image of the mayor is the general impression and evaluation of the mayor by the citizens with complete requirements and standards.
