Giresun Belediyesi

What Giresun Belediyesi does

Giresun Belediyesi (T.C. Giresun Belediyesi) is the municipal government of Giresun, a city on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. As a public government entity operating under Turkish local government law, it delivers core civic services to city residents and local businesses, including water supply and sewerage (Su ve Kanalizasyon), waste management (Temizlik İşleri), public transportation (Otobüs Seferleri), property tax administration (Emlak Servisi), marriage registration (Nikah Hizmetleri), market and public-health inspections (Zabıta), fire response (İtfaiye), parks and green-space maintenance, and youth and cultural programming (including the GBŞT city theater).

The municipality runs a hybrid digital-physical service platform. The e-Belediye online portal at online.giresun.bel.tr enables self-service for property tax payments, environmental cleaning fees, and water subscriptions, while physical touchpoints include the main headquarters at Hacımıktat Mah. Tabaklar Sok. No:1 and tahsilat (collection) points across the city. Water metering is delivered via the EKS Kartlı Su Sayacı smart card-based system, implemented for new subscriptions from March 4, 2016. The municipality is KVKK-compliant (Turkish Personal Data Protection Law) and publishes transparency artifacts including strategic plans, budget/fee schedules, and council decisions on giresun.bel.tr.

Revenue is generated through a portfolio of taxes and levies (property tax, billboard/advertisement tax, environmental cleaning tax and solid-waste fees) and fees/service charges (marriage ceremonies and hall rentals, water utility subscriptions and new connections). The current pricing schedule for FY2026 sets marriage fees at 3,500 TL+VAT for in-office resident ceremonies, scaling up to 20,400 TL total for Saturday weddings combining hall rental and ceremony, with a 50% discount for veterans, disabled veterans, and martyr dependents. The municipality is led by Mayor Fuat Köse and Deputy Mayor Ercan Hacak, and partners with the European Union, UNDP Türkiye, Türkiye Belediyeler Birliği, Kodluyoruz, Çocuk Kültürü Derneği, and sister city Muğla Belediyesi on youth, climate, and cultural programs.
