Ajuntament de Girona

What Ajuntament de Girona does

Ajuntament de Girona is the municipal government (City Council) of Girona, a city in Catalonia, Spain. Founded in 1284, the council serves the city's residents, local businesses, tourists, and vulnerable populations through a broad portfolio of mandated public services including municipal administration, urban planning, public safety, cultural and sports programming, environmental services (notably waste management and the new Taxa de residus 2026 fee structure), social services, animal welfare, and climate adaptation. The entity employs 1,001-5,000 staff and is funded primarily through local taxation, service fees, and intergovernmental transfers under the Spanish public administration framework, with elected mayoral leadership and EU Next Generation funding supporting modernization initiatives.

The municipality operates a digital services platform comprising the official Girona App mobile application, the Seu electrònica electronic administration portal for online procedures, the Girona Recicla web application for waste management, the e-Tauler electronic notice board, and a prior appointment system (Cita prèvia) for in-person services. Physical infrastructure includes the headquarters at Plaça del Vi, 1, sports facilities (Complex Esportiu de Palau, Piscina Municipal Santa Eugènia), a network of civic centers (Xarxa de centres cívics), and a Climate Shelters (Refugis Climàtics) network spanning parks, libraries, sports centers, and schools for extreme weather protection. Distribution spans multiple digital and physical channels including official website, social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr), RSS feeds, municipal newsletters, and video records of plenary sessions.

The business model is non-commercial and public-sector in nature. Revenue is derived from local taxes (including waste tax and other municipal fees billed annually), government budgets, and EU recovery funds. The council serves its customer base as a monopoly provider of municipal services within its jurisdiction, with no revenue disclosure available in the public sources reviewed. Strategic direction is shaped by elected leadership and three forthcoming strategic plans covering equality, inclusion, and social cohesion policies.
