'''[[Surrey County Council]]''' is elected every four years and was made in 1889 under the [[Local Government Act 1888]].  Since 1965 this council has had one of two statuses as to its body of councillors: no overall political control, or overall [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative party]] control.

==Political context==
{{main|Surrey County Council|Local_Government_Act_1972#Non-metropolitan_counties}}
Its area was significantly altered in 1965, taking much of its north into [[Greater London]] and adding an area forming one present district from [[Middlesex]] which was dissolved. To accommodate this, councillors elected in 1961 had their three year-term extended for an extra year and the April 1964 election took place in 1965.<ref>{{cite web |title=London Government Act 1963 |url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1963/33/enacted |website=legislation.gov.uk |access-date=25 July 2023 |date=31 July 1963 |quote=As respects the counties of Essex, Kent and Surrey the ordinary election of county councillors due (apart from this paragraph) to take place in April 1964 shall be postponed until such date in 1965 as the Secretary of State may by order specify in relation to the county in question}}</ref>  

Since 1974 all Surrey areas have had district/borough councils providing a second tier of services (see the [[Local Government Act 1972]]) replacing Urban Districts and Rural Districts.

Approximately a third of the population elect a further more localised third tier of local government to [[civil parishes in England|civil parishes]] such as [[Farnham]], [[Claygate]] and [[Horley]].

Major services provided include social services, minerals strategy and permissions, waste planning and substantial elements of transport (excluding railways) and education. The county has no grammar schools (which tend to have less local authority control) however academies and free schools in the 21st century have been set up in Surrey meaning a lower proportion of schools are run by the authority than in the 20th century.
