The intermunicipal community (Portuguese: comunidade intermunicipal) is a type of administrative division in Portugal. Since the 2013 local government reform, there are 21 intermunicipal communities.[1] They replaced the urban communities, the intermunicipal communities for general purposes and some metropolitan areas that were created in 2003,[2][3][4] and abolished in 2008.[5][2] The territories of the intermunicipal communities are the basis of the NUTS III statistical regions.
