In the public sector the running of administration process at the level of administrative-territorial units has always sought and today too aims to ensure the management efficiency of public affairs in the service of the local community. From such a direction, in the space of this article we intend to analyze the significance of the local autonomy and its manifestation in local public resources plan to highlight their importance for the efficiency of public administration in territorial-administrative units. The approach carried out in the pages of this paper showed that the local autonomy, understood as democracy at local level, on the one hand, and the financial, human, material and information resources, on the other hand, are of paramount importance for the good functioning of the local administrative mechanism. Without these resources the autonomy can not fully manifest, the local public administrative authorities being unable to fulfill their responsibilities, situation that endangers the functioning of local administrative system as a whole and that, finally, generates the inefficiency of the administration process from administrative-territorial units.
