It serves approximately 24,000 residents through a comprehensive portfolio of public services including administrative procedures, urban planning, public safety, cultural programming, social welfare, education coordination, and local economic promotion. The entity also addresses tourism, local business, and specific population segments (youth, seniors, LGBTQ+ via SAI, women via SIAD), distributing services through the Oficina d'Atenció a la Ciutadania (OAC), the 24/7 Seu Electrònica, the Xarxa de Cultura de Valls network, the Tourist Office, and the Centre Civic community center.

The municipality operates a digital ecosystem comprising the main valls.cat portal, the Seu Electrònica electronic government platform (integrated with AOC infrastructure for digital identity and e-Notum notifications), a Transparency portal, and an Open Data portal (dadesobertes.valls.cat). Cultural infrastructure includes the Museu de Valls (Catalan art collection spanning 120 years, Iberian archaeology, castells ethnography), the Consorci-led Museu Casteller de Catalunya with immersive Enxaneta 360 audiovisual technology, Teatre Principal, and the municipal radio station Ràdio Ciutat de Valls (streamed via EnaCast). Ticketing runs through CodeTickets.

Revenue is derived from municipal taxes and fees (IBI, IAE, IVTM, construction taxes, waste collection, market stalls, municipal facilities), public service fees (cultural, sports, market, administrative), fines and penalties, and subsidies and transfers from the Generalitat de Catalunya (notably for the Pla de Barris urban regeneration program). No commercial pricing is published; fiscal ordinances are approved annually and published through the Seu Electrònica. The entity operates under Spanish local government law with no parent company and one wholly-owned autonomous subsidiary (Xarxa de Cultura de Valls).

Broad incumbents

Comparable heritage tourism focus (Seu Vella castle-cathedral) and shares festival-driven visitor attraction strategy.

Competes for international cultural tourism flows but with substantially larger budget envelope.
• Ajuntament de Tarragona: Provincial capital and broader incumbent operating similar municipal governance functions but at substantially larger scale, with UNESCO-listed Roman ruins, port tourism, and beach destination assets that span more diverse visitor segments. Partner alongside Valls in the Museu Casteller consortium via Diputació de Tarragona.
• Ajuntament de Terrassa: Broader incumbent operating a larger Catalan municipal government near Barcelona with parallel cultural programming (Teatre Principal, museums, festivals), Seu Electrònica deployment, and Pla de Barris participation. Comparable industrial-heritage transition profile and AOC integration.

Operates the same Seu Electrònica and transparency portal framework through AOC, and competes for the same Generalitat funding pools and tourism positioning.
• Ajuntament de Manresa: Direct peer as a similarly sized interior Catalan municipal government with comparable industrial heritage transition, Seu Electrònica deployment, and dependence on Generalitat transfers. Competes for tourism positioning through the Seu de Manresa pilgrimage route and Ignatian heritage programming.
