Relevance for readers

The implementation of the Municipal Cadastral Office in Blanes represents a significant step in the modernisation of local tax services. Direct coordination between the City Council and the Directorate General for Cadastre will enable more efficient processing of cadastral files, improving the management of cadastral information and the relationship with citizens regarding Property Tax (IBI) and other tax matters linked to the real estate cadastre.

For public administration professionals, this is a temporary employment opportunity, albeit lasting three years, aimed at individuals with administrative training and knowledge of Catalan and Spanish. The fact that the programme includes practical training and the transfer of knowledge to permanent staff suggests that Blanes City Council intends to consolidate this service in the long term, beyond the duration of the interim appointment.

The selection process is governed by Article 10.1.c) of the Consolidated Text of the Basic Statute of Public Employees (TREBEP), approved by Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of 30 October, which regulates interim programme staff.
