The article presents the results of the surveys of the county's budget incomes and expenditures structure in connection with selected factors that mould them. The elaboration is an attempt to answer the question how the factors diversify the county 's budget incomes and expenditures structure and how it influences the scope and costs of services provided. The differentiation between the needs and resources available leads to large disproportion between territorial units. The scope and the costs of services provided by the self--governments especially depend on local specificity and wealth of the territorial self--government unit. Therefore, there is a special need to include in surveys a heterogen-eousness and a dissimilarity in forming the relations in the cross-section of territorial self-government unit. (original abstract)
