Město Český Krumlov

What Město Český Krumlov does

Město Český Krumlov is the municipal government of the historic town of Český Krumlov in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. Its historic center has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, anchoring a service portfolio that spans general administration, social care, education (multiple ZŠ and MŠ schools), waste management, water and sewerage (via partner ČEVAK), municipal policing, urban planning, environmental protection, cultural programming (Otáčivé hlediště, Slavnosti pětilisté růže, Městská knihovna, Divadlo), sports, and economic development. The city is governed by a mayor (starosta) Alexandr Nogrády and three deputy mayors (Dalibor Uhlíř, Zbyněk Toman, Robin Schinko), with operations executed through wholly owned municipal organizations including Služby města, Lesy města, Městská policie, Sociální služby SOVY, PRO-SPORT, Městská knihovna, and Divadlo.

The municipality operates a multi-channel digital services platform layered on top of its physical offices. Documented products include the Munipolis mobile alerting app, the ParkSimply smart parking application, Czech POINT integration for government service access, the KrumBusík on-demand smart public transit system (joined to the regional IDESKA integrated transport system in July 2025), the Karta Krumlováka resident benefit card, the Multima.ai citizen chatbot, an eKatalog electronic services catalog, a Technická mapa digital mapping system, smart bus stops with real-time arrival displays, and a modernized municipal camera surveillance system (MKDS). Smart-city infrastructure also includes FVE photovoltaic installations on municipal buildings and an upcoming fleet of low-floor electric buses on the two MHD lines (from September 2026).

The city's funding model is that of a Czech municipality rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue streams include local taxes and fees (municipal waste fee, dog tax, tourist/cultural tax poplatek z pobytu, public space usage fee, entrance fee tax, vehicle entry permits), property income (sales and rentals of municipal real estate including the newly acquired Hotel Vltava), parking fees across zones P1–P5, water and sewerage rates set annually, and transfers from the state budget, the South Bohemian Region, the Ministry for Regional Development, and EU grants. The distribution model combines in-person service at three office sites (Town Hall, Kaplická 439, Municipal Police), self-serve digital channels (ekatalog, Munipolis, ParkSimply, IDESKA, KrumBusík, Multima.ai), and partner-operated service delivery through municipal enterprises, schools, and social-service organizations.
