In 2015 Utah created a form of civil township called a metro township. While each metro township has a mayor[7] and township council, and manage a budget, and cannot be annexed without its permission,[8] its powers of taxation are limited, and must contract with other municipalities or municipal shared-service districts[9] for most municipal services (police,[10] for example). The five metro townships—all located in Salt Lake County—are Kearns, Magna,[11] Copperton, Emigration Canyon and White City.
