Revenue model

1. Local taxation (fiscalité locale): The Copamo is a public intercommunal structure funded primarily through local taxes including property tax (taxe foncière), residence tax (taxe d'habitation — for second homes), and the companies' contribution to local taxation (CFE/CVAE). Additional revenue comes from service fees, grants from the Rhône department and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
2. Tourist tax (Taxe de séjour): Since 2012, a tourist tax is collected from tourists staying for a fee on Copamo communes. Collection is handled by accommodation providers who declare and remit it. Revenue funds promotional actions by the intercommunal tourist office.
3. Aquatic center fees: Revenue from Les Bassins de l'Aqueduc aquatic center through entrance fees, activity subscriptions (Aqua'forme, well-being, swimming lessons), and semester or school-year passes for residents and non-residents.
