Gemeinde Vaduz

What Gemeinde Vaduz does

Gemeinde Vaduz is the municipal government of Vaduz, the capital of the Principality of Liechtenstein, operating under a statutory framework established by the 1864 Gemeindegesetz. It provides a comprehensive range of public services to roughly 5,000 residents and local businesses within its jurisdiction, including tax administration (Gemeindesteuerzuschlag 150% for 2026), water supply and wastewater management, waste collection and recycling, building permitting and urban planning, fire and emergency response, municipal police, social services for families, youth, and seniors, cultural programming, and sports and event facilities such as Rheinpark Stadion and the Vadozner Huus cultural venue.

The municipality's service delivery combines traditional in-person channels (Rathaus at Städtle 6, Bauverwaltung at Zollstrasse 56) with a multi-channel digital layer: the official vaduz.li website, the 'Hoi Vaduz' mobile application, the AI-powered 'Vaduzli' chatbot (built on large language models), and the in-house DIDI (Digitalisierte Dienstleister) division that coordinates digitalization across all Liechtenstein municipalities. Operational technology also includes BIM (Building Information Modeling) for municipal construction projects and adoption of the mandatory digitale Amtssignatur from January 2026 for secure digital documentation.

Funding comes primarily from municipal taxes, supplemented by transaction-based service fees (water, wastewater, waste, construction permits) and cantonal/national government subsidies. The 2026 budget totals CHF 96.6 million in expenses against CHF 81.8 million in revenue, with CHF 23.1 million in net investments directed toward Rheinpark expansion, the Landwirtschaftsbetrieb Riethof, Tiefbau infrastructure, and Zentrumsentwicklung planning. Governance is led by Bürgermeister Florian Meier and Vizebürgermeisterin Antje Moser, supported by a municipal council (Gemeinderat) and a 51–100-employee administration. The municipality holds Energiestadt Gold (since 2009), European Energy Award Gold (since 2021), Fairtrade-Town, and Child-Friendly Municipality certifications, and operates joint infrastructure with neighboring Gemeinde Schaan.
