This article presents concept of public service quality and quality evaluation models. Research of public opinion regarding the quality of public services was carried out in Lithuanian municipalities. Research includes seven fields of municipal public services: 1) social services, 2) health care services, 3) education services provided by secondary schools of municipalities, 4) education services provided by adult education institutions and centres. Based on the research, a model of the quality development of public services in Lithuanian municipalities is formed.
