Conseil Départemental du Jura

What Conseil Départemental du Jura does

The Conseil Départemental du Jura is the elected deliberative assembly and administrative body of the Jura department in eastern France (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region), headquartered at 17 rue Rouget de Lisle in Lons-le-Saunier. Founded as a department in 1790 and reorganized as a modern departmental council under the 1982-1983 French decentralization laws, it operates as a publicly owned collectivité territoriale with statutory competencies in social solidarity, departmental roads (approximately 6,700 km), colleges, spatial planning, economic development, culture, sports, environmental protection, and digital infrastructure. The entity serves all 260,000+ residents of the Jura department, 545 communes and intercommunalities, and a wider network of associations, operating through 80 physical sites and a multi-channel digital presence anchored by the jura.fr institutional website, the mes-demarches.jura.fr online procedures portal, and the JuraMag quarterly magazine distributed to 140,000 households.

The entity runs on a 382 million euro 2026 general budget, allocated across Solidarités (188.7M€), Mobilités et infrastructures (60.4M€), Éducation, culture, jeunesse et sport (38M€), and other commissions. Its workforce consists of approximately 1,300 permanent agents per job postings and nearly 1,500 agents per the careers page, covering 90+ professional specialties across technical, administrative, social, medico-social, medico-technical, cultural, and sports divisions. The underlying technology stack is standard web infrastructure (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript) hosted by RECTANGLE in Lons-le-Saunier, with no proprietary digital products beyond the institutional website, online procedures portal, job board, and official publications archive.

The revenue model is tax-funded public budgeting: local taxation (property tax, vehicle tax) combined with central government transfers, not commercial fees. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-citizen service delivery through physical offices and digital channels. Two named operational leaders are documented — Gérôme Fassenet (Directeur de la publication) and David Rondeau (Directeur de la communication). Strategic technology partnerships are limited to the RECTANGLE web hosting arrangement and a 2024 RGAA 4.1.2 accessibility audit conducted by AccessProd, which reported a 40.30% compliance rate on the jura.fr website.
