Starostwo Powiatowe W Raciborzu

What Starostwo Powiatowe W Raciborzu does

Starostwo Powiatowe w Raciborzu is the district-level public administration office (starostwo powiatowe) serving Powiat Raciborski, a local government unit (jednostka samorządu terytorialnego) in the Silesian Voivodeship of southern Poland. Established under the 1999 Polish local-government reform and headquartered at Plac Stefana Okrzei 4 in Racibórz, the office discharges statutory district-level functions on behalf of a territory of 544 km² organized into eight gminas (Racibórz city, Kuźnia Raciborska, Krzyżanowice, Krzanowice, Nędza, Rudnik, Kornowac, and Pietrowice Wielkie), serving roughly 108,513 residents (2019) and a local business base of approximately 6,500 entities. It is headed by the Starosta, currently Grzegorz Swoboda, with Włodzimierz Gralak serving as Data Protection Officer.

The office delivers the district-exclusive services that cannot be handled by gmina-level administrations: building permits for designated project categories, environmental permits and monitoring, vehicle registration for certain vehicle categories, driver licensing support, district road management (via Powiatowy Zarząd Dróg), land consolidation and geodetic services (Powiatowy Zasób Geodezyjny i Kartograficzny), civil registry functions, crisis management (Centrum Zarządzania Kryzysowego), disability certification (Powiatowy Zespół ds. Orzekania o Niepełnosprawności), oversight of district schools and sports facilities, public procurement, and education supervision. It is the sole statutory provider of these services within its borders, operating on a regulatory monopoly. Revenue is not commercial; it is composed of national/local budget allocations and statutory fees set by Polish legislation, with no privately disclosed pricing.

Technology is limited to standard public-sector infrastructure: the Biuletyn Informacji Publicznej (BIP) at bip.powiatraciborski.pl for statutory disclosures, EZD MDOK for electronic document management, KSeF for national e-invoicing, an internet-based appointment reservation system, and an active web presence publishing approximately 5,011 archived news articles. The office maintains an affiliated nonprofit, the Fundacja na rzecz Szpitala Rejonowego w Raciborzu (established 2014), which supports the regional hospital as a separate legal vehicle. Powiat Raciborski is a member of the Związek Powiatów Polskich (since 2015), the Śląski Związek Gmin i Powiatów (since 2023), the Western Subregion Association (since 2002), and maintains bilateral partnership agreements with German, Ukrainian, Welsh, and other Polish poviats under the Umowa Partnerska framework.
