Decentralization of monitoring and licensing of the use of natural resources, from the federal and state spheres to the municipalities, has generated pressure to adopt a governance model that is able to establish a relationship between the demands of quality public services, job creation and income generation activities, and a lower environmental impact. This research evaluates whether the municipalities fiscal effort and revenues dependency as well as the expenses by function are relevant variables to explain the best and worst environmental performance obtained. The data of 645 municipalities of the state of Sao Paulo, from 2008 to 2017, were analyzed. The quantile regression method was used to analyze the relationship between the indicators since it provides more accurate results. The results showed that the municipalities expenditures are better than the revenues to explain the environmental performance. However, it was identified that greater fiscal effort and investments in environmental management policies, basic sanitation, and sport and leisure have a positive impact on the environmental assessment index of the municipality. Finally, it was found that municipalities governed by the center and right parties have achieved better environmental indices compared to governments adopting a more progressive political spectrum.
