Yerevan Municipality

What Yerevan Municipality does

Yerevan Municipality (Քաղաքապետարան) is the constitutionally constituted local government of Yerevan, the capital city of the Republic of Armenia, operating under the RA law on local self-government. The municipality administers a city of 1,075,100 residents across 223 km², organized into 12 administrative districts (Ajapnyak, Avan, Arabkir, Davtashen, Erebuni, Kentron, Malatia-Sebastia, Nor Nork, Nork-Marash, Nubarashen, Shengavit, Kanaker-Zeytun), each with its own head and dedicated offices. Governance rests on a 65-member elected Council of Elders (Aivagani) and a Mayor, currently Tigran Avinyan.

The municipality's core technology platform is a unified digital services ecosystem anchored on the yerevan.am portal, comprising GIS platforms for spatial and environmental monitoring, an e-permits system for construction and trade licensing, a One Window service center, a fee calculator, the Active Citizen participatory governance platform, the YES electronic services platform, online application portal (arcanc.yerevan.am), a unified transport ticketing system (transport.yerevan.am), and a tourism portal (visityerevan.am). The wholly-owned subsidiary Center for Management Technologies of Yerevan CJSC operates the city's IT and management technology functions. Operational integration uses Google Analytics for traffic analysis and OpenWeatherMap for weather display.

Revenue derives from local fees and taxes authorized by the Council of Elders, including demolition permit fees (35,000 AMD), transaction-based construction and planning permit fees with defined exemptions for educational institutions, social housing, and earthquake-damaged buildings, trade and service license fees (alcohol, cigarettes, public catering), mobile trading point booking fees, and property-related local taxes. The municipality operates 70 cultural organizations (3 theatres, 19 libraries, 5 museums, 26 music/art schools), maintains 401 registered historical and cultural monuments, and provides 24/7 emergency service coordination plus a citizen hotline (1-05). Communication with citizens runs through official web portal, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, YouTube), Yerevan TV program, and direct engagement channels.
