Japanese municipalities and prefectures have engaged in various fiscal and legislative activities regarding supplementary budgets and ordinance amendments.

In mid-September, several local governments proposed budgets focused on infrastructure, disaster recovery, and local development. For example, Yamagata Prefecture proposed a 22.665 billion yen supplementary budget, largely dedicated to repairing damage from heavy rains. Other initiatives included school building designs in Yamanashi City and smart agriculture and tourism-related parking expansions in Hokuto City.

Following these proposals, municipal councils moved to pass various legislative measures. These actions included approving property acquisitions for disaster prevention in Kumano City, revising ordinances to increase fees for ski resorts and parks in Daisen City and Kosaka Town, and adjusting official salaries in Ikawa Town. Administrative appointments, such as the reappointment of a deputy mayor in Kazuno City, were also finalized.
