Aparecida

What Aparecida does

Aparecida (legal name: Prefeitura Municipal de Aparecida) is a municipal government entity in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, created via political emancipation under Lei Estadual nº 10.529 de 24 de julho de 2016 and operational since January 1, 2017. It delivers the full portfolio of local public services to residents of its territory — including civic administration, public education across 12 education units (schools and daycares), public health across 8 health units (UBS, health posts, SAMU), social assistance, housing, and infrastructure. Current mayor is João Neto. The municipality is headquartered at Rua Antônio Francisco Pires, 169, Centro, Aparecida, Paraíba, with an additional administrative office in Joca Claudino.

The entity's core digital infrastructure comprises the Portal da Transparência (real-time budget, contracts, bidding, payroll disclosure), the e-SIC citizen information request system, the Diário Oficial Eletrônico for official publications, the Portal de Serviços ao Cidadão, the NF Eletrônica electronic invoicing system and Portal do Contribuinte taxpayer portal (both operated via technology partner Elmar Tecnologia), and an open data API (API de Dados Abertos) compliant with Lei 12.527/2011. All citizen-facing systems comply with LGPD (Lei 13.709/2018) following formal regulation published April 2, 2025, with ERIVAN ALVES DA SILVA designated as the responsible officer.

The business model is that of a tax-funded public administration rather than a commercial enterprise: revenue derives from municipal taxes (IPTU, ISS), constitutional transfers (FPM), state and federal convênios, and the annual budget instruments LOA/LDO/PPA. Services are provided free at point of use to residents. Customer concentration is structurally total within the municipality's territory, balanced by a legal monopoly on local government service delivery. Notable recent activity includes a R$ 3.5 million convention with the Government of Paraíba (March 2026) for school and gymnasium construction, receipt of a National Literacy Award (March 2026), and continued housing delivery to low-income families.
