Most parishes in the United States operate under a form of local government that typically includes a parish council and a parish president or administrator. This structure is often similar to a county government, with responsibilities for local services, land use, and community planning. Some parishes may also have specific boards or commissions to address particular issues. The exact governance structure can vary by state and local laws.
