Horasan Belediyesi

What Horasan Belediyesi does

Horasan Belediyesi (legal name: Horasan Belediye Başkanlığı) is a public municipal government entity serving the Horasan district of Erzurum Province in eastern Turkey. Established as an independent district center on December 4, 1953, the municipality operates under Turkish Law No. 5393 (Belediye Kanunu) and serves approximately 45,250 residents across a district with a historical heritage dating back to 4000 BCE on the ancient Silk Road. It is governed by an elected mayor — currently Hayrettin Özdemir, who took office following the March 31, 2024 local elections — and a municipal council.

The municipality delivers local government services through an integrated e-government portal (horasan.bel.tr) and in-person service delivery at its headquarters in Kazım Karabekir Mahallesi. Its service portfolio spans zoning and urban planning (İmar İşleri), construction permitting (İnşaat Ruhsatı), tax processing (Vergi İşlemleri), business operating licensing (İşyeri Açma Ruhsatı), civil marriage registration (Evlilik Hizmetleri), public transportation information, online dues inquiry with credit-card payment, and a charitable donation platform. Operational departments include Zabıta (law enforcement), Yazı İşleri, Mali Hizmetler (finance), İnsan Kaynakları (human resources), Fen İşleri İmar (technical works), and Muhtarlık İşleri.

The entity's revenue model rests on locally collected municipal fees and taxes (marriage ceremonies, construction permits, business licenses) supplemented by intergovernmental transfers from the Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality and central government. Recent operational activity has centered on water infrastructure projects coordinated with DSİ 8th Regional Directorate, fleet expansion, environmental sanitation upgrades, and inter-governmental coordination with the Erzurum Provincial Governorate. The municipality maintains no private shareholders, no venture funding, and no subsidiaries; it is a wholly state-owned local-government entity accountable to its electorate and national oversight.
