Kantonsgericht von Graubünden

What Kantonsgericht von Graubünden does

Region Albula is a public regional administrative entity (öffentlich-rechtliche Körperschaft) established on January 1, 2016 under cantonal law in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. It serves as the intermediate administrative layer between the canton and its six member municipalities: Albula/Alvra, Bergün Filisur, Lantsch/Lenz, Schmitten, Surses, and Vaz/Obervaz. The entity was created by dissolving four Regionalkreise and the Regionalverband Mittelbünden and consolidating their statutory responsibilities into a single regional body.

The organization delivers a broad portfolio of statutory and public services across distinct departments: Zivilstandsamt (civil registry for births, deaths, marriages, family documents), Berufsbeistandschaft (professional guardianship for child and adult protection), Betreibungs- und Konkursamt (debt collection and bankruptcy under the Federal SchKG), Steuerallianz (income and wealth tax assessment for natural persons), Regionalnotariat (notarial services), Erwachsenenbildung (adult education including Italian language courses), Regionalentwicklung (regional economic development), Fahrplanregion (public transit scheduling coordination), Gesundheitsversorgungsregion (health care planning with Region Viamala), and Regionaler Richtplan (spatial planning). Technology infrastructure consists of a Webflow-hosted website with Google Analytics and the Crossiety digital communication platform for municipal announcements.

The business model is public-sector: revenue derives from municipal tax allocations (for tax assessment services) and statutory fees set by federal ordinance (for civil registry documents), with no commercial sales motion. Services are delivered through a single physical office in Tiefencastel (Stradung 26) operating Monday-Thursday 08:00-12:00 and 14:00-17:00, supplemented by online self-service forms for civil registry and debt collection requests. Day-to-day operations are led by Geschäftsführer Mirko Pianta, with governance exercised by the Presidents' Conference of the six municipal presidents. Pricing for adult education courses ranges from Fr. 210-340 per participant, while civil registry fees are federally regulated.
