What Statutární město Opava does

Statutární město Opava is the municipal government of the statutory city of Opava, located in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic and serving as the administrative centre of the Opava District. The entity operates as a public-sector local government and provides the full range of statutory municipal services to its residents and local businesses, including identity documents, residence registration, permits and licensing, urban planning, public transport (via subsidiary Městský dopravní podnik), cultural programming (via Slezské divadlo, Knihovna Petra Bezruče, and Opavská kulturní organizace), sports (via Basketbalový klub Opava and Hokejový klub), senior care (Seniorcentrum), forestry (Městské lesy), and technical/environmental services (Technické služby). The city is organized into eight municipal districts and is governed through the Magistrát m\u011bsta Opavy at Horní nám\u011bstí 69, with elected representation in the city council (zastupitelstvo), the city council board (rada), and the city leadership (vedení m\u011bsta).

The core digital product surface is the Portál ob\u010dana (Citizen Portal), a unified e-government platform that integrates online forms, document submission, payment processing (via GPwebpay), appointment reservations, and a personal account tied to multiple Czech digital identity providers — Identita ob\u010dana, Bankovní identita (eleven Czech banks), MojeID, and Mobilní klí\u010d eGovernmentu. Supporting systems include the Platební portál (Payment Portal) for fee collection, Mapové aplikace (map applications built on ESRI/TMAPY) for geospatial data and citizen reporting (including the "Není nám to jedno" issue tracker), Elektronická podatelna (electronic registry integrated with Czech data boxes), Ú\u0159ad on-line reservation system, and the Rozklikávací rozpo\u010det (Interactive Budget) transparency tool. Distribution spans the Magistrát, a Tourist Information Centre, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), local TV (Opavský expres), and the Hláska newsletter.

The revenue model is non-commercial and consists of municipal tax revenue (the primary stream), administrative fees for documents, permits and certifications, property rental income from municipal real estate, EU and government grants (operational programs funding digital infrastructure), and minor tourism income via the Tourist Information Centre. The city is funded through the public budget, not equity or debt capital markets, and operates as a government-state entity under Czech law with I\u010c 00300535.
