MIGRAUM modifies the waste tax and opens a thirty-day perio…

The Intermunicipal Association for Waste Management of Southern Alt Urgell (MIGRAUM) has provisionally approved the modification of the fiscal ordinance regulating the tax for the collection, transport, and treatment of municipal household waste. The agreement was adopted by the General Assembly in an extraordinary session held on November 4, 2026, and has been published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida number 216, corresponding to November 11, 2026, under edict number 9472 and official reference BOP-2026_0_216_9472. The text is now on public display for thirty business days.

Thirty business days to examine the file

The announcement, signed by the president of the entity, Joan Puig Bellido, in Oliana on November 9, 2026, establishes that the provisional approval agreement and the full text of the modification will remain on public display at the Secretariat of the Association for a period of thirty business days. This period is counted from the day following the publication of the announcement in the BOP of Lleida.

During this period, interested parties may examine the file and submit any claims or allegations they deem appropriate. The announcement is also published on the entity’s own edicts board, as stated in the edict itself.

From provisional status to final approval

The procedure is framed within local treasury regulations and has automatic consequences if there is no response from citizens or interested entities:

Article 49.b) of Law 7/1985, of April 2, regulating the bases of the local regime.
Sections 1 and 2 of Article 17 of the Revised Text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5.
Article 17.3 of the same revised text: if no claim is submitted within the deadline, the provisional approval agreement becomes final without the need for a new agreement.

Furthermore, the edict commits the entity to publish in full in the BOP of Lleida the final provisions of the modified articles that refer to the tax elements of mandatory determination by the Association.

A text still without public figures

The published announcement does not specify amounts, rates, or the financial year from which the modification will apply, nor does it detail how many or which municipalities will be affected on the receipt. This information does not appear in the edict and, therefore, cannot be advanced until the articulated text or the final agreement is published.

The official identification of the issuing entity as stated in the document is as follows:

Name: Mancomunitat Intermunicipal per a la Gestió de Residus de l’Alt Urgell Meridional.
Local entity registration code of the D.G.A. Local: 9010560009.
Tax identification: P7518702A.
Place of signature of the announcement: Oliana, November 9, 2026.

Other administrations review the same tax

MIGRAUM is not the only waste tax review processed these months in the province, and all follow the same thirty-day public information scheme:

Pallars Sobirà County Council: modification of article 6.2 of the ordinance, approved at the Plenary on October 13, 2026, and applicable to the fifteen municipalities of the county from January 1, 2027 (BOP-2026_0_198_8584).
Agramunt City Council: full modification of fiscal ordinance number 3, approved at the Plenary on October 29, 2026, for the year 2027 and onwards (BOP-2026_0_210_9135).
Lleida City Council: additional provision to fiscal ordinance 2.5 to regulate a tax reduction for the 2027 financial year, approved on October 20, 2026 (BOP-2026_0_201_8785).

Impact on residents

The waste tax is one of the municipal bills that has grown the most in recent years and affects all homes and premises in every town. In the case of MIGRAUM, the modification will ultimately be decided by the absence of claims: if no one submits objections before the thirty-working-day deadline expires, the text will be automatically approved, and the citizens of the dependent municipalities will feel the effect in the next settlement, once the final figures are published in the bulletin.
