Ajuntament de Vilablareix

What Ajuntament de Vilablareix does

Ajuntament de Vilablareix is the municipal government of Vilablareix, a municipality in the Gironès comarca of Catalonia, Spain, currently serving a population of approximately 4,398 residents (2026 estimate). As a public administrative body governed by Spanish Local Government Law (Ley 7/1985), the Ajuntament provides statutory municipal services — population registry, civil registry, tax collection (delegated to XALOC), urban planning permits, and waste management — alongside a broad suite of community services spanning early childhood education (Llar d'Infants La Farigola, 72 places), senior care (Can Ribotic, Casal de la Gent Gran), sports (Pavelló Municipal, Piscina Municipal, 36+ associations), culture (Centre Cultural Can Gruart, Ràdio Vilablareix, Biblioteca Carme Fàbrega i Dalmau), and economic development (Viver d'Empreses EL RUSC business incubator, labor orientation service).

The entity's core technology layer consists of a Seu Electrònica electronic administration platform, a WeTown mobile application, a municipal WhatsApp channel, and integrations with regional systems (EACAT for invoicing, XALOC for tax collection, instamaps for GIS). Service delivery is hybrid: physical OAC offices, digital self-serve channels, and door-to-door (porta a porta) waste collection — the latter operational since October 2013 and central to the municipality's 2025 EU Zero Waste Cities and Towns Certification (4 stars).

The business model is tax-funded public administration. Recurring revenue sources include municipal taxes (IBI, vehicle, economic activity — collected via XALOC), annual swimming pool subscriptions (€75 individual / €125 family), monthly ludoteca fees, and pay-as-you-go venue rentals (€30–600/day). One-time revenue includes construction permits and the Vilablareix Futur SL affordable housing development (46 dwellings, 13 commercial spaces). The wholly-owned municipal subsidiary Vilablareix Futur SL, established in 2020, marks the entity's expansion into municipal real estate development. Current mayor Maite Tixis Padrosa leads a government team of approximately 6 direct employees and 8 elected councilors (Regidors) covering treasury, economic promotion, education, environment, youth, culture, territory, and equality portfolios.
