A city with county rights (or urban county, Hungarian: megyei jogú város) is a level of administrative subdivision in Hungary. All county seats and localities with more than 50,000 inhabitants are given this status by the Hungarian Parliament and the President. On the other hand, this title cannot be taken back by any law so cities like Hódmezővásárhely or Dunaújváros that are neither county seat nor inhabited by more than 50,000 people are still megyei jogú város. Since 2006, there are 23 cities with county rights. Before 1950, the former so-called cities with municipal rights (törvényhatósági jogú város) had a similar status as the present urban counties.
Budapest is not considered as an urban county and has a special status among the other Hungarian cities.
Every city with county rights is allowed to be subdivised into sectors. The representative body is the General Meeting (közgyűlés) which elects with the County Assembly a council that takes care of different tasks related to the county.
History
Between 1954 and 1971, the four largest regional cities received the megyei jogú város title. These were Debrecen, Miskolc, Pécs and Szeged. Then, from 1971 to 1990, the four precedent cities and Győr had a new status called county city (megyei város) which was given in 1989 to three other cities: Salgótarján, Nyíregyháza and Kecskemét. After the end of Communism, this status was deleted and replaced by the urban counties as until 1971. The eight megyei város and twelve more cities became megyei jogú város.
