Summary/Abstract: As of January 1, 2015, the town of Zielona Góra and the municipality of Zielona Góra unioned. As a result, a single local government unit - Zielona Góra City was established, which covers the administrative boundaries of the two connected local government units. The legislator, allowing the possibility of combining local government units, was not able to settle all potential problems connected with it. The aim of the article is to present important problems that have arisen in practice after the merger of the city with the district of Zielona Góra with the municipality of Zielona Góra. The issues discussed may be of greater importance if similar combinations of other local government units were produced.
