Mairie de GERZAT

What Mairie de GERZAT does

Mairie de GERZAT is the municipal government of Gerzat, a commune of more than 10,000 inhabitants in the Puy-de-Dôme department within the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and is one of the 21 communes of Clermont Auvergne Métropole. The entity delivers the standard scope of French communal public services to its residents: primary education (including school catering through a central kitchen), early-childhood coordination via the Relais Petite Enfance, urban planning, civil registry, local policing, cultural and sporting programming, and the administration of municipal heritage and green spaces. It also acts as the local anchor for solidarity initiatives, notably through its TZCLD (Zero Long-Term Unemployment Territory) habilitation, which supports employment for long-term job seekers via approved enterprises.

The commune's recent strategic activity has concentrated on infrastructure renewal and certification. The principal capital project is the €4.2 million renovation and central kitchen extension of the Jules Ferry school group, running from April 2026 to October 2027. In parallel, the commune has opened a France services labelling (June 2023) consolidating multi-agency administrative procedures into a single municipal point of contact. Environmental commitments are formalized through the Zéro Phyto Level 3 label (2020) and the 'Territoire Engagé pour la Nature' recognition (2021).

The business model is that of a French local authority rather than a private firm: the commune is funded through a combination of local taxes (taxe foncière, taxe d'habitation on secondary residences), state dotations, intercommunalité transfers from Clermont Auvergne Métropole, user fees for specific services (school catering, leisure activities), and project-specific subsidies. Governance is exercised by the municipal council under Mayor Serge PICHOT, supported by an executive team. The entity employs a headcount that supports these statutory missions; no commercial revenue, equity funding, or M&A activity applies.
