Chattogram City Corporation

What Chattogram City Corporation does

Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) is the statutory municipal government body responsible for urban governance and service delivery across Chattogram (Chittagong), Bangladesh's principal port city. Established in its current form in 1989 and tracing continuous civic administration back to 1921, CCC operates under the Local Government Division of the Government of Bangladesh and holds monopoly authority over municipal services within its jurisdiction. The corporation serves the entire resident population of Chattogram through a decentralized network of 41 ward offices and centralized departments covering Secretariat, Engineering, Accounts, Cleanliness, Revenue, Education, and Health functions.

CCC's service portfolio spans 25+ core municipal functions including waste management, road infrastructure, street lighting, public healthcare (maternal hospitals, charitable clinics, immunization programs), civil registration (birth/death certificates), trade licensing, property taxation (holding tax), market management, construction permitting, and citizen grievance resolution through Shalishi courts. It also operates an education vertical comprising 395+ institutions from kindergarten through university level, serving approximately 65,000 students. Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees across six primary streams: trade license fees, holding/property tax, market and shop rentals, construction and development fees, civil registration fees, and certificate issuance fees, all set under the municipal tax schedule rather than market-based pricing.

CCC has pursued a digital transformation agenda, deploying multiple e-governance platforms — the E-Revenue System, Online Certificate Service, Online Birth-Death Registration, Student Fee Payment System, and Non-Mechanical Vehicle Online Registration — supported technically by national partners including a2i (Access to Information), Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC), BASIS, and the Cabinet Division's National Portal. The corporation communicates with the public through its official website (ccc.gov.bd), 800+ press releases, social media channels, and City/Ward Level Coordination Committees. As a government entity, CCC is not a commercial enterprise and operates under public-sector governance rather than competitive market dynamics.
