Ajuntament De Salou

What Ajuntament De Salou does

Ajuntament de Salou is the municipal government of Salou, a coastal municipality in the Tarragona province of Catalonia, Spain. Operating under Spanish municipal law, it administers local public services including municipal taxation, administrative procedures, urban planning, public safety, environmental management, cultural programming, and social services for the resident population and visitors to the municipality. The entity coordinates local economic development through partnerships with tourism, commerce, and leisure businesses, including the Club Xic'S children's discount program that connects over 40 local establishments with families.

The municipality operates a portfolio of digital service platforms built around the official website (salou.cat), an electronic administration platform (Seu electrònica), and two mobile applications — APP Salou al mòbil for municipal news, events, and appointment scheduling, and APP Cuida Salou for citizen incident reporting. Service delivery occurs through the Oficina d'Atenció Ciutadana (OAC) physical office, the Cita prèvia appointment system, and partnerships such as Salou + Net, which manages selective waste collection, bulky waste, commercial collection, pruning waste, and textile recycling services. The municipality maintains infrastructure exceeding 100 hectares of gardens and green areas and projects over 1,600 protected housing units.

As a public government entity, Ajuntament de Salou is funded through local taxes, public service fees, and European Union funds rather than commercial revenue. The organization has been recognized with the 1r Reconeixement Administració Oberta 2021 award, the Salou Capital Cultura Catalana 2025 designation (Government of Catalonia), and the Salou Smart Destination initiative, and employs 101-250 staff supporting municipal operations.
