Curtis submits the waste tax review for public exhibition

The Plenary of the Curtis City Council has provisionally approved the modification of the Fiscal Ordinance regulating the tax for the municipal waste collection and management service. The agreement, adopted in an ordinary session on October 15, 2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña number 201, dated October 21, 2026, under official reference 2026/6750, and opens a period of 30 business days for public exhibition.

The modification directly affects the bill paid by residents for the waste collection and treatment service, one of the most widespread municipal taxes. The announcement publishes the provisional approval agreement, but does not detail the amounts or the specific headings being revised in the bulletin text: these data are part of the file and the text of the ordinance submitted for public information.

The procedure and its legal basis

The City Council is processing the modification under file 2026/G016/000001, the subject of which is precisely the provisional approval of the modification of the fiscal ordinance for the municipal waste tax. The procedure complies with the provisions of articles 17 and following of Legislative Royal Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approved the Recast Text of the Law regulating local finances.

This legal framework is what mandates the opening of a public information period before the modification of a fiscal ordinance becomes final. The announcement indicates that the period is counted from the insertion of the initial approval announcement in the provincial bulletin, that is, from this same publication of October 21.

Deadlines and effects of the agreement

The procedure’s calendar is established in the following points:

• 30 business days of public exhibition of the modification, counted from the publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of A Coruña.
• During this period, claims may be filed against the provisional approval agreement.
• If the period expires without any claim being filed, the provisional agreement automatically becomes final.
• In any case, once the procedure is closed, the agreement and the full text of the new ordinance will be published.

Provisional approval, therefore, does not equate to the immediate entry into force of the reform: the text may still change if allegations are presented during the public information period that the City Council accepts.

Who signs the announcement

The announcement is signed in Curtis on October 16, 2026, by the mayor, Javier Fco. Caínzos Vázquez, one day after the plenary session in which the agreement was adopted. The publication in the provincial bulletin is what marks the effective start of the period for allegations.

The reference for any inquiry or written submission is announcement number 2026/6750, corresponding to file 2026/G016/000001, in the Local Administration section of the bulletin dated October 21, 2026.

The relevance of the news for readers is direct: any resident of Curtis who wishes to know how much they will pay for the waste collection service or discuss the new tax has 30 business days to consult the file and submit allegations before the ordinance is definitively approved.
