==History==
Prior to the constitution of the municipality, there was a sanitary board functioning in 1910 under a sergeant and the town council after 1911. In 1932, the new [[Municipal Corporation Building, Thrissur]] was constructed. On 1 July 1942, [[Thrissur]] Municipality was born and in 2000, it was upgraded by the [[Kerala Government]] to Municipal corporation. The first elections to the corporation were held in 2000. [[Ayyanthole]], [[Ollukkara]], [[Koorkenchery]], [[Ollur]] and Vilvattom Panchayaths and parts of [[Nadathara]] and [[Kolazhy]] Panchayaths were merged with the municipality to form the [[Thrissur]] Municipal Corporation.

The corporation comprises two legislative assemblies [[Thrissur Assembly Constituency]] and [[Ollur Assembly Constituency]]. The city is administered by the [[Thrissur]] Municipal Corporation, headed by a mayor. [[Thrissur]] Municipal Corporation is the second-largest city corporation in the state of [[Kerala]]. The city is the only local body and city in [[Kerala]] which directly controls power, water supply and solid waste management system in the [[Thrissur]] city. For administrative purposes, the city is divided into 55 wards, from which the members of the corporation council are elected for five years. The corporation has its headquarters in [[Thrissur]] city.<ref name=":0" />

==Master plans==
The first master plan for [[Thrissur]] city was sanctioned by the [[Kerala]] Government in October 1972 with a plan period of 20 years in accordance with the Town Planning Act. It was expected that the town would accommodate a population of 1,75,000 in 1991. The sanctioned Development Plan (1972) for [[Thrissur]] envisaged a growth pattern integrating rural areas and the urban center of [[Thrissur]] so as to provide the rural areas with employment opportunities and social amenities. The Town and Country Planning Department (TCPD) and [[Thrissur Urban Development Authority]] (TUDA) are the agencies that prepare the plan. A new Master plan, which is in the anvil since last 10 or more years has been a long-awaited dream of Trichurians as people are struggling to get building permits under the existing outdated master plan.

==Income==
As of 2014-15 revenue, the annual budgetary estimate of Thrissur Corporation is Rs 346.27 crore. Surplus income of the corporation is Rs 6.63 crore. Property tax is the main source of revenue for Thrissur Corporation.<ref>{{cite web
