There are eight incorporated towns in Garrett County: Accident, Deer Park, Friendsville, Grantsville, Kitzmiller, Loch Lynn Heights, Mountain Lake Park, and Oakland. They provide various services within their jurisdiction and levy property taxes to meet their expenses. Each town has a mayor and council chosen in nonpartisan elections. County voting registration does not include municipal voting privilege, and municipal elections are not held simultaneously with county and state elections. Citizens should consult their municipal authorities to determine where and when to register for municipal elections and when elections are held.
