It is essentially the city government and differs from the [[Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority|MDDA]] (Mussoorie Dehradun Development Board), which is a state run organisation.

This corporation consists of 13 wards and is headed by a '''Chairman''' who presides over a deputy '''chairman''' and 12 other [[councillor|corporators]] representing the wards. The '''Chairman''' is elected directly through a first-past-the-post voting system and the deputy chairman is elected by the [[councillor|corporators]] from among their numbers.

The council is composed of elected officials like the mayor and [[councillor|corporators]], administrative officials, like the '''Executive Officer''' and technical officers who have expertise in various domains.
