What Ayuntamiento de Lucena does

Ayuntamiento de Lucena is the municipal government of Lucena, a city in the province of Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain, serving approximately 42,500 residents across the urban core and surrounding aldeas. The entity functions as the exclusive local government authority within the municipality, exercising regulatory powers, collecting local taxes, and delivering a comprehensive portfolio of public services including citizen administration (SIAC), local policing, social services, education and culture, environmental management, sports facilities, consumer protection, youth programs, and economic development initiatives. It operates through a structured governance model comprising the Mayor, five deputy mayors, 21 council members, and five permanent information commissions covering finance, personnel, works, social policies, and urbanism.

The municipality delivers services through in-house departments and three wholly-owned operating companies: SUVILUSA (Suelo y Vivienda de Lucena, S.A., established 1994) for public housing, EPEL Aparcamientos for 396 underground parking spaces, and Aguas de Lucena S.L. for water supply and sanitation. Digital service delivery is enabled through the Electronic Headquarters (Sede Electrónica hosted by Eprinsa), an online appointment system, a transparency portal, and a WhatsApp municipal channel. Notable infrastructure includes a 5,000-seat municipal stadium with Class 5 artificial turf and extensive sports facilities.

Revenue derives from local taxes (Property Tax/IBI, Vehicle Tax/IVTM, Economic Activities Tax/IAE, Construction Tax/ICIO), public fees for services, water utility income, and intergovernmental transfers from central and regional governments. The municipality has secured external funding through the €6,250,000 EDUSI Lucena Cohesionada European program for sustainable urban development and participates in Next Generation EU funds. The current administration (2023–2027) is led by Mayor Aurelio Fernández García of the Partido Popular party. The 2026 budget has been approved and is publicly accessible through the municipal transparency portal.
