Commune de Jurbise

What Commune de Jurbise does

Commune de Jurbise is a Belgian municipal government entity located in the Hainaut province of Wallonia, serving residents across six villages within its territorial jurisdiction (population under 50,000). Founded as an administrative commune under Belgian public law, it delivers statutory local government services including civil status registration, identity document issuance (identity cards, passports, driving licenses), population registry management, local taxation, urban planning, and waste management. The commune operates through functional departments covering State-Civil/Population, Living Environment, Personnel and Education, Finance/Taxes/Public Procurement, General Affairs, and Animations-Projects, with approximately 44 staff.

Service delivery combines physical offices at the Rue du Moustier headquarters in Jurbise with an E-Guichet electronic administrative portal (egovflow.be) enabling online document requests and citizen account management. The technology platform is built on Plone CMS under a free software license, developed and maintained in partnership with IMIO. The commune additionally operates a wholly-owned public social welfare subsidiary, the Centre Public d'Action Sociale (CPAS), providing family aid, elderly care, meal delivery, and social assistance.

Revenue is generated primarily through local taxes and levies (real estate, waste management, other local charges), administrative service fees for official documents, and fees from communal hall rentals. Pricing for community programs is tiered by residency status — summer camps range from EUR 50/child/week for Jurbise residents to EUR 85/child/week for external attendees. The commune became the seventh Belgian member of the international Cittaslow network in June 2019 with a certification score of 71.52%, distinguishing it through commitment to quality-of-life principles. The commune and CPAS are scheduled to consolidate operations into a new administrative complex in 2026.
