A local service district (LSD) is a unit of rural municipal government in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador which cover areas outside incorporated cities, towns and villages for provision of municipal services such as fire protection, garbage disposal and sewage.

New Brunswick

There are 269 LSDs in New Brunswick, covering all unincorporated areas. LSD boundaries often (but not always) coincide with parishes. These districts have elected advisory committees that have little legal or tax power, but work with the New Brunswick Department of Local Government to oversee municipal services.

Newfoundland and Labrador

In Newfoundland and Labrador, LSDs cover only areas where residents petition to create one. If one is formed, an advisory committee of five to seven members. All proposals put forth by LSD committes must be approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs.
