Ávila is a province in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. The province is divided into 248 municipalities. Spanish census, Ávila is the 46th most populous of Spain's 50 provinces, with inhabitants, and the 15th largest by land area, spanning . Municipalities are the most basic local political division in Spain and can only belong to one province. They enjoy a large degree of autonomy in their local administration, being in charge of tasks such as urban planning, water supply, lighting, roads, local police, and firefighting.
The organisation of municipalities in Spain is outlined by the local government law (), which was passed by the Cortes Generales—Spain’s national parliament—on 2 April 1985 and finalised by royal decree on 18 April 1986. Municipalities in Ávila are also governed by the , which includes provisions concerning their relations with Castile and León's autonomous government. All citizens of Spain are required to register in the municipality in which they reside. Each municipality is a corporation with independent legal personhood: its governing body is called the (municipal council or corporation), a term often also used to refer to the municipal offices (city and town halls). The is composed of the mayor (), the deputy mayors () and the councillors (), who form the plenary (), the deliberative body. Municipalities are categorised by population for determining the number of councillors: three when the population is up to 100 inhabitants, five for 101250, seven for 2511,000, nine for 1,0012,000, eleven for 2,0015,000, thirteen for 5,00110,000, seventeen for 10,00120,000, twenty-one for 20,00150,000, and twenty-five for 50,001100,000.
The mayor and deputy mayors are elected by the plenary assembly, which is itself elected by universal suffrage. Elections in municipalities with more than 250 inhabitants are carried out following a proportional representation system with closed lists, whilst those with a population lower than 250 use a block plurality voting system with open lists. The plenary assembly must meet periodically, with meetings occurring more or less frequently depending on the population of the municipality: monthly for those whose population is larger than 20,000, once every two months if they range between 5,001 and 20,000, and once every three months if they do not exceed 5,000. Many also have a local governing board (), which is appointed by the mayor from amongst the councillors and is required for municipalities of over 5,000 inhabitants. The board, whose role is to assist the mayor between meetings of the plenary assembly, may not include more than one third of the councillors.
The largest municipality by population in the province as of the 2024 Spanish census is Ávila, its capital, with 59,119 residents, while the smallest is Blasconuño de Matacabras, with 14 residents. Most municipalities experienced a decline in population from 2011 to 2024.
