Abstract
In 1983 Miguel de la Madrid reformed for the eighth time article 115 of the
Constitution, which deals with the municipality. Giving the power to manage
their own resources, encourage decentralization through the increase of
municipal autonomy, that is to say give content to which the same article argues
on the basis of territorial division and political and administrative affairs of the
republic: "free municipality"; by means of the reduction of the financial
dependence. At 35 years of this reform, the municipality of Hermosillo gets
about 50% of their income sent from the federation, therefore we have to
question the so called financial municipal autonomy to Hermosillo. The
objective is to analyze by means of a set of indicators on the municipal financial
autonomy, the expenditures and revenues of the Municipality of Hermosillo, in
the period from 1989 to 2016. It is shown that the reforms have not significantly
increased the financial autonomy of the municipality.
