Nogueruelas raises the waste tax to 96.85 euros per family …

The Nogueruelas City Council has definitively approved the modification of Fiscal Ordinance No. 2, which regulates the fee for the home collection, transport, and disposal of urban solid waste. The Plenary agreement, dated September 11, 2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel no. 216, of November 11, 2026, in the Local Administration section, with the official reference 2026-3330. The new rate is set at 96.85 euros per family unit, the same amount that will be applied to businesses.

Definitive approval without claims

The announcement states that, as no claims were submitted during the public exhibition period, the provisional plenary agreement is automatically elevated to definitive. The full text is published “for general knowledge and in compliance with article 17.4 of the Recast Text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries,” approved by Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5.

The process began with the provisional approval of the Plenary on September 11, 2026, announced in the Official Gazette of the Province of Teruel no. 180, of September 21, 2026 (reference 2026-2689). That announcement opened a thirty-day public information period, starting from the day following its insertion, to examine the file and submit allegations, with the warning that, once the period elapsed without claims, the agreement would be considered definitively approved.

Rates of Article 8

The modification affects Article 8 of the ordinance, relating to the tax rate and the tax quota. The fee will be required according to the following rates:

Per family unit: 96.85 euros.
For bars: 386.10 euros.
For hostels and hotels with fewer than 10 rooms: 594.10 euros.
For hostels and hotels with more than 10 rooms: 742.50 euros.
For restaurants: 386.10 euros.
For commerce: 96.85 euros.

The highest quota therefore corresponds to the largest hotel establishments, at 742.50 euros, while households and businesses bear the lowest rate in the table, at 96.85 euros.

Water and sewerage, in the same plenary session

The Plenary of September 11, 2026, also definitively approved the modification of two other fiscal ordinances of the municipality, published in the same issue of the provincial gazette:

Tax Ordinance No. 20, regarding the drinking water supply service fee (reference 2026-3334): 76.53 euros per family unit, 297.25 euros for bars, 364.00 euros for hostels and hotels with fewer than 10 rooms, and 455.00 euros for those with more than 10 rooms and for restaurants.
Tax Ordinance No. 21, regarding the sewerage service fee (reference 2026-3332): 29.08 euros per family unit, 112.96 euros for bars, 138.32 euros for hostels and hotels with fewer than 10 rooms, 172.90 euros for those with more than 10 rooms and for restaurants, and 69.16 euros for businesses.

The three announcements were signed by the Mayor-President, Isabel María Alajarín Piñero, on November 6, 2026, with the validation code 9NAZ2R42H534MTJJJJCSEZ6Q3.

Two-month period to appeal

An administrative appeal against the agreement on the waste fee may be filed before the Administrative Litigation Chamber of the High Court of Justice of Aragon, based in Zaragoza, within two months starting from the day following the publication of the announcement. The filing is supported by Article 19 of the Recast Text of the Law Regulating Local Treasuries and Article 46 of Law 29/1998, of July 13, regulating Administrative Litigation Jurisdiction.

Impact for residents

The entry into force of the updated ordinance transfers the cost of the collection, transport, and disposal of waste to all households and businesses in the municipality, with a flat fee of 96.85 euros for family units and a specific scale for hospitality and commercial activities. The final publication in the provincial bulletin closes the administrative process and makes the rates enforceable, while simultaneously opening the judicial route for those wishing to challenge them.
