Občina Sevnica

What Občina Sevnica does

Občina Sevnica is a municipal government entity in the Posavje region of southeastern Slovenia, established in 1991 following Slovenia's independence. It administers local governance for approximately 17,500 residents across 11 local communities (krajevne skupnosti), making it the 12th largest municipality by area in Slovenia. The municipality provides comprehensive public services including local administration, water supply, sewage and waste management, spatial planning, social welfare, education support, and economic development through multiple departments (Finance, Environment and Spatial Planning, Economic Activities, Social Services, General Services, Mayor's Cabinet).

The municipality operates an integrated e-government platform comprising the main municipal website, Prostorski portal (Spatial Portal), eKomunala digital services, and an Interactive Map, supported by full fiber optic network coverage across its territory. Its revenue model combines local tax collection (property tax, business tax), central government transfers for delegated state functions, EU co-financing (50-85% of project costs) from EMFAF, ERDF, Cohesion Fund, and Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, administrative fees for permits and communal services, and municipal property income. The municipality operates through seven wholly-owned subsidiaries providing healthcare, pharmacy, elderly care, library, communal, cultural/sports/tourism, and tourism services.

Distribution occurs through multiple channels: physical municipal headquarters (Glavni trg 19a, Sevnica), e-Uprava electronic services, 11 local community offices, and partner institutions including schools and healthcare facilities. The municipality has secured over €8 million across multiple EU-funded projects (2017-2028) spanning fisheries, agriculture, tourism infrastructure, water systems, and regional development, with active partnerships spanning fish farming companies (AKVAL, Ribogojstvo Goričar), agricultural cooperatives (Kmečka zadruga Sevnica), regional development agencies (RRA Posavje, Razvojni center Srca Slovenije), and neighboring municipalities (Občina Krško).
