A council architect or municipal architect[1] (properly titled county architect,[2] borough architect,[1] city architect[3] or district architect[4]) is an architect employed by a local authority. The name of the position varies depending on the type of local authority and is similar to that of county surveyor or chief engineer used by some authorities.[5][6] Council architects are employed in the United Kingdom but also used in Malta and Ireland.[7][8]
