Gemeinde Neuenhof

What Gemeinde Neuenhof does

Gemeinde Neuenhof is a public-law municipal government entity (Einwohnergemeinde) located in Neuenhof, Canton of Aargau, Switzerland, serving approximately 9,000 residents within the Limmattal region bordering Wettingen, Spreitenbach, and Killwangen. Founded in 1393 and reorganised into Canton Aargau in 1803, the municipality delivers the full statutory portfolio of Swiss local-government services: tax collection (3% municipal rate), waste management, civil registry, building permits, debt collection, social services, youth and school social work, fire and civil defence, and cemetery/funeral administration. Service delivery is operated through a network of specialised internal departments (Gemeindekanzlei, Finanzverwaltung, Steueramt, Bau und Planung, Soziale Dienste, Einwohnerdienste, Betreibungsamt) and shared regional inter-municipal arrangements covering police (Regionalpolizei Wettingen-Limmattal), civil registry (Regionales Zivilstandsamt Wettingen), civil defence (ZSO Wettingen-Limmattal), and forestry (Forstbetrieb Wettingen-Würenlos-Neuenhof).

The municipality's technology platform centres on a TYPO3-based website hosted on the CommunityNet internet solution operated by W4 Services GmbH in collaboration with the Gemeindeschreiberverband des Bezirks Baden. An Online-Schalter (Online Counter) provides 24/7 digital access to administrative procedures, complemented by a Bürgerkonto citizen account for newsletter subscriptions, a Spartageskarten day-pass distribution channel tied to the SBB/GA national public-transport network, and integration with national platforms including eUmzug.swiss (electronic address registration), EasyTax (cantonal tax filing), Serafe AG (radio/TV fee collection), Fundservice Schweiz (lost-and-found), and geoPro Suisse AG (digital utility cadastre for sewage, gas, water, and electricity infrastructure).

Gemeinde Neuenhof's revenue model is primarily tax-funded with transaction-fee and unit-pricing supplements. Core revenue streams include cantonal and municipal tax collection (with 0.75% advance-payment interest and 5.1% default interest), recurring waste-collection bag and container fees administered through a contract with Obrist Transport & Recycling AG since 2012, one-time building permit fees, and per-unit administrative certification fees (signature certification CHF 30, debt-registry extract CHF 18, departure confirmation CHF 20, etc.). The municipality wholly owns Elektrizität Wasser Neuenhof (ewn), an independent public-law utility providing electricity, water, and related services through a Werkkommission governing body. Customer concentration is total by design: all services are delivered exclusively to residents of the municipality, with no commercial customer acquisition motion.
