Almost always, the answer is yes. The exception is in areas where the municipality operates an open access network (i.e., the city installs and owns all the fiber, but multiple ISPs provide service). Community Networks, which is part of ILSR, has a list of some of those communities. [1] UTOPIA is perhaps the most prominent, as it covers several municipalities in Utah. Snazzy labs recently posted a video discussing their network. [2] I have family that has UTOPIA and they can choose from something like 11 ISPs all over the same network. [3]
