The municipality is the most important executive institution in urban management. Without strategic and macro policies, this institution will never be successful in attracting active participation of citizens in advancing affairs and solving biological, cultural and social problems. Therefore; the municipality, in light of expanding citizens' awareness of their rights and duties in urban society, as well as awareness of the duties and responsibilities of the municipality in urban administration and management, can be successful in realizing urban and citizenship rights as best as possible. Because, no institution or organization alone will have the ability to ensure the security of citizens and establish social order and justice. Therefore, the participation and cooperation of citizens in this regard is important and necessary. The present article aims to examine the criminal liability of the municipality, in the light of urban law, using the descriptive and analytical research method to examine research, articles, studies and documents related to the subject with the library method, and it was concluded that if the municipality violates the laws, in matters related to claims for removal of possession, namely claims for removal of aggressive possession, removal of obstruction of rights and removal of interference with rights, a lawsuit may be filed against it in a criminal manner. Also, a lawsuit for destruction and loss of property is among the claims that may be filed against the municipality in the form of a criminal lawsuit. Claims committed by natural persons, such as violence, insult and assault, may also occur by employees and officers of the municipality, and the filing of a lawsuit and handling of these matters will also be arranged in the criminal court.
