Augšdaugavas Novads

What Augšdaugavas Novads does

Augšdaugavas Novads (legal name: Augšdaugavas novada pašvaldība) is a municipal government entity in the Latgale region of Latvia, established in 2021 through Latvia's administrative-territorial reform that consolidated former municipalities. It operates from its central administration in Daugavpils (Rīgas iela 2) and delivers statutory public services across multiple parishes and towns including Ilūkste, Kalupe, Naujene, and Subate. The entity is governed by an elected council (Dome) chaired by Vitālijs Aizbalts, with Pēteris Dzalbe as Executive Director managing daily operations. Services span education, social protection, healthcare, culture, sports, civil registry, construction regulation, and environmental management, delivered through four client service centers, an online portal, and Unified Partnership Administrations.

The municipality's core product is its digital and physical service delivery infrastructure — primarily the official web portal (augsdaugavasnovads.lv) and client service centers — through which residents access administrative, social, civil registry, guardianship, and construction-related services. It owns six capital companies (SIA Daugavpils reģionālā slimnīca, SIA Grīvas poliklīnika, SIA Veselības centrs Ilūkste, SIA Naujenes pakalpojumu serviss, SIA Ornaments, and SIA Atkritumu apsaimniekošanas Dienvidlatgales starppašvaldību organizācija) spanning healthcare, waste management, and municipal services. Underlying technology is conventional municipal government IT with no disclosed AI/ML components, APIs, or proprietary platform; the technology stack consists of standard administrative systems and a public-facing web portal delivered as a unified portal rather than a modular platform architecture.

The municipality does not operate on a commercial revenue model. Its 2026 budget core revenue of EUR 48.11M derives from non-discretionary statutory sources: personal income tax allocations (30.74%), state budget transfers for delegated functions (29.89%), the Municipal Finance Equalization Fund (21.96%), and property tax, supplemented by fees for permits and regulated municipal services set by binding regulations (Saistošie noteikumi). Customer concentration risk is structural: the entity has a single captive customer base (all residents of the municipality) and a revenue base tightly tied to national fiscal policy and regional demographic trends. Strategic positioning emphasizes EU-funded infrastructure investment (ERAF, ESF, INTERREG), cost-efficiency through the energy management system (EUR 380,000 annual savings since 2022), and renewable energy development via the planned Nīcgale wind park partnership with Vindr Latvia.

Regional players

• Rēzeknes novads: Another Latgale-region municipality in eastern Latvia, formed under the same 2021 administrative reform. Comparable in geographic scale, demographic profile, fiscal reliance on equalization transfers, and rural/urban service mix including social care and education.
• Jēkabpils novads: Latvian regional municipality of similar post-reform scale serving a mixed urban-rural territory. Operates the same portfolio of municipal services (education, social care, infrastructure, housing) under comparable revenue and transfer dynamics.
• Krāslavas novads: Neighbouring Latgale municipality of comparable size and demographic profile. Both entities serve populations along the Latvian borders, rely on EU structural funds, and deliver a similar basket of social protection and education services.
• Preiļu novads: Latgale-region municipality with overlapping service mandate, including social care facilities, education, and rural infrastructure. Comparable budget scale and reliance on equalization and state transfers.
• Ludzas novads: Eastern Latvian border municipality with similar demographic challenges and a comparable portfolio of public services. Both operate in low-population-density areas with strong dependence on cross-border and EU programmes.
• Balvu novads: Latgale-adjacent municipality with comparable size, rural population base, and reliance on equalization funding. Overlaps directly in social-care, education, and infrastructure service delivery.
• Daugavpils valstspilsētas pašvaldība: City municipality located within the Augšdaugavas region and formerly the administrative centre of the area. Delivers the same municipal service categories at urban scale, shares regional infrastructure (including the regional hospital), and competes for the same EU project funding pool.
• Cēsu novads: Vidzeme-region municipality of similar post-reform scale with comparable service breadth and EU-funded project pipeline. Useful benchmark for administrative efficiency and capital-investment execution outside Latgale.
• Ogres novads: Central Latvian municipality of similar population scale with comparable social-care, education, and infrastructure portfolios. Provides a counterpoint reference for fiscal management practices under the same national equalization system.
• Tukuma novads: Latvian regional municipality operating comparable municipal services at similar scale. Useful comparator for capital-investment pace and delivery of EU-funded social and infrastructure projects.
