Castrelo do Val approves a fee for the private use of municipal premises

The City Council of Castrelo do Val has initially approved the imposition of the tax for the private utilization and temporary use of municipal buildings, premises, and facilities, along with its regulating fiscal ordinance. The agreement was adopted by the Plenary of the Council in the session of September 17, 2026, and was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ourense on September 21, 2026, in section IV. Local Entities, with the official reference R. 2.234. From that publication, a period of 30 business days is opened for interested parties to examine the file and present any allegations they deem appropriate.

What the Plenary approved and where it can be consulted

The edict, digitally signed by the mayor Cristina Gómez Dobarrio in Castrelo do Val on September 17, 2026, contains the plenary agreement for the approval of the tax and the ordinance that regulates it. The text of the initial approval agreement and that of the ordinance are displayed to the public on the Council’s edicts board and on its electronic headquarters.

The regulation refers expressly to the private utilization and temporary use of buildings, premises, and facilities under municipal ownership, such that it affects associations, entities, and individuals who use these public spaces. The edict does not detail the amounts or the tax rates: these are contained in the text of the ordinance submitted for public information and the hearing of interested parties.

Deadline, form, and effects of the processing

• Deadline for allegations: 30 business days counted from the day following the publication of the edict in the BOP.
• Place of consultation: edicts board and electronic headquarters of the City Council of Castrelo do Val.
• What can be done: examine the text of the ordinance and the file and present claims or allegations.
• Effect of silence: if no claim is presented within the indicated period, the agreement will be understood as definitively approved, without the need to expressly adopt a new agreement.
• Subsequent procedure: once approved, the definitive text of the ordinance will be published in the BOP.

The Council’s budgetary framework

The new tax figure is added to the chapter of taxes, public prices, and other income of the municipal budget. According to the definitive approval of the credit modification file number 14/2026, published in the BOP on September 16, 2026, that chapter is endowed with 93,000.00 euros, within a total budget amounting to 2,314,991.44 euros.

The same Council appears among the beneficiaries of the cooperation lines of the Provincial Deputation of Ourense for the 2026 financial year: it received 4,477.61 euros from the BenOurense Infancia program for the complementary service “Healthy Breakfasts” and 10,171.79 euros from the BenOurense basic home aid program.

The approval of this fee introduces a new municipal revenue and, at the same time, a financial obligation for the entities and residents who until now used municipal spaces without a specific consideration. Interested associations and individuals have 30 business days from the publication in the BOP to submit allegations before the ordinance is definitively approved.
