- Administrative/biographical history:
- The municipal office in Chodová Planá began operating in 1850, succeeding older administrative bodies of the market town. Municipalities (Gemeinde) became the lowest components of self-administration in 1850, with independent authority (such as administration of municipal assets, domicile agenda, security and care for the poor) and transferred authority (such as guardianship, election, warrant, tax and military matters). The operation of the municipal authority was terminated in 1945.
