City Hall of Diamantina

What City Hall of Diamantina does

The City Hall of Diamantina (Prefeitura Municipal de Diamantina) is the municipal government of Diamantina, a historic city in the Vale do Jequitinhonha region of Minas Gerais, Brazil, founded in 1831 and operating with 408 public employees. The entity administers public services for approximately 47,000 residents across the urban seat and multiple rural districts (Mendanha, Inhaí, Curralinho, Senador Mourão, Guinda, Extração, Desembargador Otoni), serving as the sole provider of local public services within the municipal territory. Its service portfolio spans public health (75 Postos de Saúde under the SUS network, SAMU, UPA, Basic Pharmacy), primary and secondary education, social development (CRAS, Social Assistance Fund), public security (Municipal Guard), urban infrastructure (roads, paving, lighting), waste collection, and cultural heritage preservation. The City Hall's revenue is entirely non-commercial, funded through municipal, state, and federal tax revenues and transfers, and is not disclosed on the public website.

The City Hall operates a multi-portal digital government ecosystem built on the Instar Tecnologia platform (version 3.5.3), including the Portal de Dados Abertos (Open Data Portal exposing JSON-format municipal data), the Portal do Turismo (visitediamantina.com.br), the Portal da Transparência, an integrated Citizen Services Portal with login/cadastro for individuals and businesses, the Ouvidoria (Ombudsman), and the Serviço de Informação ao Cidadão (SIC). In 2026 operational data, the Ouvidoria processed 366 petitions with an 11-day average response time and the SIC handled 34 requests from 14 unique requesters. The entity's strategic positioning leverages Diamantina's UNESCO World Heritage Site designation and Brazilian National Historical Heritage status, which differentiates it among Minas Gerais municipalities and supports tourism promotion and federal heritage funding access via PAC Cidades Históricas. The City Hall coordinates with federal and state heritage authorities (IPHAN, IEPHA) on preservation and restoration projects, and contracts third-party providers (ELO SAÚDE, JSF Administração) for specialized health-sector consulting and implementation.
