MUNICIPIO DE TAURAMENA

What MUNICIPIO DE TAURAMENA does

The Municipio de Tauramena (operating as the Alcaldía Municipal de Tauramena, Casanare) is a constitutionally constituted municipal government entity in the department of Casanare, Colombia, with administrative origins circa 1961-1962. It delivers public administration, tax collection, social welfare, healthcare coordination, education support, infrastructure, environmental management, and citizen participation services to the resident population of the municipality and to local businesses operating within its jurisdiction. The current administration is led by Mayor Javier Augusto Alvarez Alfonso for the 2024-2027 term.

Its service delivery is built on a SharePoint-based institutional website (tauramena-casanare.gov.co) developed by 101 S.A.S., extended by a TramiApp mobile application on the Google Play Store, plus a portfolio of online procedures including Pagos en Línea (tax payments), PQRSD (petitions, complaints, claims, suggestions and denouncements), online appointment scheduling (Agende su Cita), real-time chat support, a Portal de Niños, and a Portal Único de Contratación linking to SECOP I/II procurement platforms. The institutional framework is anchored by a Sistema Integrado de Gestión (SIG) aligned with the national MIPG (Modelo Integrado de Planeación y Gestión) standard. Service channels are hybrid: in-person at the Palacio Municipal (Calle 5 No. 14-34), via the Comisaría de Familia, through the autonomous ESE Hospital Local de Tauramena, and through mobile brigades that reach rural veredas and corregimientos.

Revenue is derived from five principal streams: Impuesto Predial Unificado (property tax, with early-payment discounts under Acuerdo 021 of 2020, Article 40), Impuesto de Industria y Comercio (ICA, autoliquidable), other Rentas Municipales (vehicle tax, lighting tax), national transfers through the Sistema General de Participaciones, and oil royalties (regalías) earned as a municipality in the oil-producing Casanare department. Distribution is direct-to-citizen across physical offices, the digital portal, TramiApp, and community outreach. The municipality is not a commercial enterprise — it is a public-sector territorial entity under the Republic of Colombia, governed by an elected mayor and subject to oversight by the Contraloría Departamental de Casanare, Personería Municipal, and Procuraduría Regional.
