Badajoz awards the Head of Tax Services to María del Carmen Rodríguez

The Badajoz City Council has awarded position number 771/001, titled Head of Tax Services-Economist, to María del Carmen Rodríguez Fernández via a secondment agreement, effective November 3, 2026. The decision is formalized by decree and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 207, corresponding to Wednesday, October 28, 2026, in the Local Administration section, under Announcement 4270/2026.

The position belongs to the staff list of civil servants of the Badajoz City Council and is classified in group A, subgroup A1, the level reserved for higher degrees in local administration. The filling of the position is resolved through a secondment as a career civil servant, a figure intended to temporarily assign a position to a civil servant already established in the workforce.

An October proposal and the endorsement of the Comptroller

The award decree is based on the proposal dated October 2, 2026, formulated by the Evaluation Commission of the selection process convened to fill the position. According to the official text, the designated applicant obtained the highest score in said process.

The resolution also incorporates the favorable report from the Funds Comptroller dated October 22, 2026, a mandatory procedure due to the economic nature of the position, and confirms that the documentation submitted by the interested party is compliant.

The administrative milestones of the file are as follows:

• Award proposal from the Evaluation Commission: October 2, 2026.
• Favorable report from the Funds Comptroller: October 22, 2026.
• Publication of the decree in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz: October 28, 2026.
• Effective date of the secondment: November 3, 2026.

Limited duration and one-year extension

The decree establishes that the secondment will continue until the position is filled permanently through the incorporation of its permanent holder and, in any case, for a maximum period of one year, extendable for another. The legal basis invoked is Article 64 of Royal Decree 364/1995, of March 10, which approves the General Regulation for the Entry of personnel into the service of the General State Administration and the provision of job positions and professional promotion of civil servants.

Therefore, this is a temporary appointment and not a permanent filling: the position remains reserved for its permanent holder, and the awardee will hold the position as long as that situation persists or until the legal limit of two years, including the extension.

The resolution likewise orders publication on the municipal website for the appropriate purposes. The decree appears signed by the Mayor, by delegation according to the decree of February 2, 2024 (published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 28, of February 8), by the Fourth Deputy Mayor, Eladio Buzo Corzo.

Why it matters

The Head of Fiscal Services-Economist is a key piece in municipal economic management: the coordination of fiscal policy, the preparation and monitoring of revenues, and technical dialogue on local tax matters depend on it. The award fills an A1 level vacancy effective from November 3 and is backed by the report from the Funds Audit Office, allowing the Badajoz City Council to organize its economic structure before the close of the fiscal year and the approval of the next budgets. The temporary nature of the service commission, however, keeps the definitive call for the position open.
