significance, settlements within their competence, and their own budget. It must be emphasized that the policy
of local self-government should be correlated with national tasks and current legislation. The article deals with issues related to local self-government in the Republic of Kazakhstan and analyzes the formation of the local self-government system and its development, and the positive experience of local selfgovernment.
