Brión submits the modification of the urban hygiene tax to public exhibition

The Plenary of the Brión City Council provisionally approved, in the session of November 6, 2026, the modification of the fiscal ordinance regulating the tax for activities and services related to urban hygiene. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña number 215, dated November 10, 2026, in announcement 2026/7308. The text opens a period of thirty business days for interested parties to examine the file and submit any claims they deem appropriate.

The announcement is signed by Mayor Pablo Lago Sanmartín dated November 6, 2026, and limits the agreement to a single regulation: the Fiscal Ordinance regulating the tax for activities and services related to urban hygiene. The processing was based on Article 17 of RDL 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the recast text of the Law regulating local finances, a precept that regulates the modification of municipal fiscal ordinances and requires the public exhibition of the file before its final approval.

Thirty business days from November 11

The agreement is not final: it is a provisional approval that remains suspended during the public information period. The conditions of the procedure are as follows:

• Deadline: thirty business days of public exhibition.
• Start of the count: the day following the publication of the announcement in the BOP, that is, from November 11, 2026.
• Publicity channels: the notice board of the Brión City Council and the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña itself.
• Rights of interested parties: to examine the file and submit any claims they deem appropriate within that period.

Final approval without returning to the Plenary

If no claim is submitted during the period, the agreement will be understood as definitively adopted without the need for a new plenary agreement, as expressly stated in the announcement. In this case, the regulation requires the full publication of the text of the approved modification in the BOP for it to enter into force, so the new wording of the ordinance will not be applicable until that publication is completed.

In a series of fiscal files and with a tax already being collected

The modification of the urban hygiene tax comes after other fiscal files from the same council. In the plenary of October 7, 2026, the modification of the fiscal ordinance for the water supply tax was provisionally approved, published in the BOP number 196, dated October 14, 2026, with reference 2026/6518. That same month, the BOP number 193, dated October 9, 2026, reported the initial approval of the 2026 municipal budget, with reference 2026/6503, subject to fifteen business days of exhibition.

The fee is not subject to provincial management. According to BOP number 163, dated August 27, 2026, the Concello de Brión is among the councils that delegated the tax and collection management of their taxes to the Deputación Provincial da Coruña. Already in the campaign for the second semester of the 2026 financial year, published in BOP number 165, dated August 31, 2026, the “Waste collection fee for the 2026 financial year” for Brión appears, with a voluntary payment period between September 1 and November 16, 2026.

The practical effect of the news is immediate for the taxpayer: any neighbor or owner of a premises who receives the receipt for this fee can review the file and lodge an appeal before the modification becomes final. If there are no claims, the new ordinance will become the applicable regulation throughout the municipal area from its full publication in the provincial bulletin.
