Counties

ProviderState of Alabama GIS (ALGOGIS)
TypeArcGIS REST MapServer
Noteverified 67 counties, exact match.
Municipalities
Urlhttps://services7.arcgis.com/jF2q3LPxL7PETdYk/arcgis/rest/services/Alabama_Incorporated_Cities_Boundaries/FeatureServer/0
ProviderALGeoHub (ArcGIS Online) — the state's own ALGOGIS server only exposes Counties, not municipalities or schools
TypeArcGIS REST FeatureServer
Noteverified 468 records (close to ~460 expected; slight overcount plausibly from duplicate annexation entries). No field distinguishes City vs. Town legal class (population >=2,000 = city) — that distinction would need to be derived/joined separately.

Educational Region
Statusconfirmed none beyond professional-development function
NoteAlabama's 11 Regional In-Service Centers (the ARIC network, established 1984, run as higher-ed/ALSDE partnerships) are purely PD delivery, governed by independent boards — not a jurisdictional/ administrative layer analogous to BOCES.
