Pallars Sobirà: public information on the increase of the waste collection tax

The Pallars Sobirà Regional Council has opened for public consultation the file for the modification of the fiscal ordinance regulating the tax for the collection, transport, and treatment of municipal, household, and similar waste services. The provisional agreement and the text of the proposed modification of Article 6, point 2 of the ordinance were approved at the corporate Plenary on October 13, 2026, and will apply to the fifteen municipalities of the region starting January 1, 2027. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida (BOP) no. 198, dated October 16, 2026, with the official reference CVE BOP-2026_0_198_8584.

The edict was electronically signed by the president of the Pallars Sobirà Regional Council, Carlos L. Isus Castellarnau, on October 14, 2026. The document bears edict number 8584 and appears in the Local Administration - Regional Councils section of the provincial gazette. This is a modification of a fiscal ordinance of a supra-municipal nature, as the tax levies the collection, transport, and treatment of waste services that the regional council provides jointly for the municipalities of the region.

Public information and claims period

The provisional agreement and the text of the modification will be available to the public for thirty days starting from the day after the publication of the announcement in the BOP of Lleida. During this period, interested parties may:

• Examine the file for the modification of the fiscal ordinance.
• Submit any claims they deem appropriate.

What changes and who is affected

The modification focuses on Article 6, point 2 of the fiscal ordinance regulating the waste tax. The scope of application is:

• Fifteen municipalities of the Pallars Sobirà region.
• Municipal, household, and similar waste.
• Entry into force scheduled for January 1, 2027.

The tax applies to all fifteen municipalities of the region, meaning the modification does not affect a single town hall but the entire territory. The edict does not detail the new rates or the specific amounts of the tax, which will be known with the final text of the modified article.

Processing and final approval

Once the public information period has elapsed without any claims being filed, the adopted agreement will be definitively approved. Subsequently, the agreement and the modified Article 6, point 2 will be published in the BOP of Lleida.

The procedure falls within the power of the regional councils to approve and modify the fiscal ordinances of the services they manage on a supra-municipal basis, in this case, the management of municipal waste.

The modification of the fee directly affects all residents of the fifteen municipalities of Pallars Sobirà, who will see their waste collection quota updated as of January 1, 2027. The public information process opens for one month so that any interested party may file an objection against the new wording before it is definitively approved.
