The Administrative Court is the highest cantonal judicial authority for administrative matters as per section 55 paragraph 2 of the Cantonal Constitution. The court has its seat in Zug.

The Administrative Court primarily serves as an appellate body, reviewing decisions made by the Government Council and other administrative authorities of the canton and municipalities. Being a part of the judiciary and upholding the principle of separation of powers, it is an independent authority.

Appeals may be filed against orders and findings made under public law that directly impact an individual in a specific matter or in the cancellation or amendment of which they have a legitimate interest.

While the Administrative Court oversees the Assessment Commission (as per section 61 of the Planning and Building Act), it does not have oversight over the administration (the Cantonal Council is the supervisory authority for general government and administrative activities as per section 41 point c of the Cantonal Constitution).
