Gotland County is the only county in Sweden that is not governed by a county council. The municipality handles the tasks that are otherwise handled by the county council, mainly health care and public transport.

Both the County Administrative Board and the municipality have their seat in the largest city Visby, with over 22,000 inhabitants.
