Summary/Abstract: Assets play a significant role in operations carried out by local government. According to the statutory scope of activities of local government, each local government is obliged to possess some fixed assets, to a smaller or greater extent. Assets include land, facilities, buildings, appliances and equipment necessary for proper execution of local government tasks. However, a crucial problem relies on the lack of sufficient information, on the issue of local government assets, that would facilitate their performance measurement. Another concern rests in the possibility to compare the results with other communes in Poland. Due to the above, the herein study constitutes an attempt to create a set of Key Performance Indicators, that would facilitate performance measurement of the fixed assets – especially real estate, management by local government. Compilation a set of Key Performance Indicators common for all local governments in Poland on the central level would allow for comparison of the results from specific communes. Local governments on the commune level constitute the subject of herein study and Key Performance Indicators are its object. The study is based on literature study and case study.
