Abstract
The paper presents issues related to the legal aspects of administrative procedure of changes to the boundaries of communities. An analysis of legal provisions regulating this process, point to the many uncertainties of interpretation which may occur in practice. The authors have characterized the municipality as a subject of public and private law, whose independence is protected by the courts. The authors in particular draw attention to issues of public consultation undertaken during the procedural changes for the boundaries of cities, including a local referendum. Based on the views of doctrine, the judgments of the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court rulings made legal interpretation of the provisions for compliance with the Polish Constitution under the rule of law requiring uniform application of law throughout the country.
