Legal municipal boundaries are a state matter; the secretary of state
for a state often has the current legal definitions, and is
responsible for approving and recording annexations and other
changes. Since these are constantly changing, they my not be entirely
up-to-date in the state GIS site(s). Some states of course have very
stable boundaries (the 13 colonies =+Vermont & Maine).
The Census TIGER files include sub-county administrative boundaries,
but they are likely even less up-to-date than the state data.
