Prefeitura de Mariana

What Prefeitura de Mariana does

Prefeitura de Mariana (legal name: Prefeitura Municipal de Mariana) is the municipal government of Mariana, Minas Gerais, Brazil — a historic city founded in 1696 and recognized as the first capital, first village, first city, and first diocese of Minas Gerais ("Primaz de Minas"), with 330 years of continuous municipal history celebrated in 2026 and UNESCO World Heritage candidate status for its Baroque architectural complex. The administration delivers public services to approximately 60,000+ residents across urban headquarters and rural districts (Camargos, Barroca, Ponte do Gama, Barro Branco, Passagem de Mariana) through 15+ secretariats covering Administration, Education, Health, Sports and Events, Culture and Tourism, Public Security, Obras and Urban Planning, Meio Ambiente, Assistência Social, Desenvolvimento Rural, Diversificação Econômica/Tecnologia/Inovação, Habitação, Transportes, Procuradoria, Controladoria, and Fazenda. Wholly-owned operating subsidiaries SAAE (water and sanitation) and IPREV (municipal pension institute) extend service reach.

The municipality's digital infrastructure comprises an integrated e-government stack: the SEI (Sistema Eletrônico de Informações) electronic document and process management system currently being implemented for paperless administrative workflows; Nota Fiscal Eletrônica for municipal tax invoicing (integrated with the Betha e-gov platform); an online bidding system (Sistema de Licitações) for procurement and supplier registration; the Portal do Contribuinte for citizen tax services; the Portal da Transparência for public access to government accounts; the Ouvidoria ombudsman service; and the Conecta Mariana mobile application (developed by GovDigital) available on Google Play and Apple Store. Marketing and citizen communication operate through the official website (mariana.mg.gov.br), Instagram (@prefmariana), Facebook, TikTok (@prefeituramariana), the Diário Oficial, and physical venues including Arena Mariana and CRIA.

Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a Brazilian municipal government: own-source tax collection (IPTU property tax, ISS services tax), mineral activity-related revenues (Mariana sits in the Iron Quadrangle, host to major mining operations), and constitutional/intergovernmental transfers from state and federal sources. Capital inflows include federal Novo PAC funding for heritage restoration (Igreja das Mercês) and partnerships with CODEMGE (terminal modernization concession), AMAPI/MDA (PNCF rural credit), and UFOP (academic/cultural events). The municipality operates a Prêmio Tesouro Nacional certificate and achieved A+ classification from the Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional in both the Ranking da Qualidade da Informação Contábil e Fiscal (RQICF) and Capacidade de Pagamento (CAPAG) indicators in 2026 — the highest tier, upgraded from a prior D rating. ~590 direct employees support the administration.
