Sabadell initially approves the 2027 budget and opens fifteen days for allegations

The Plenary of the Sabadell City Council, in an extraordinary session on November 9, 2026, initially approved the general budget of the local entity for the 2027 financial year. The agreement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on November 10, 2026, with the official reference CVE 202610168869 and date 10-11-2026. The public information period is fifteen business days starting from the day after publication.

The approved text integrates the budget of the City Council itself and the income and expenditure forecasts of the commercial companies with entirely municipal capital. The edict is issued by the Department of Economy and Central Services, Economic Services, and is signed by Montserrat González Ruiz, deputy mayor of this area, dated in Sabadell on November 9, 2026.

The legal framework invoked is article 169.1 of Royal Legislative Decree 2/2004, of March 5, which approves the Revised Text of the Law regulating local treasuries. According to this regulation, the file is displayed to the public so that interested parties may examine it and submit any claims they deem appropriate before the Plenary.

Fifteen business days to examine the file

The public exhibition period begins the day after the publication of the edict in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona, that is, starting from November 11, 2026. The enabled consultation channels are as follows:

• Electronic office of the Sabadell City Council, at the address seu.sabadell.cat.
• In-person consultation by appointment at the telephone number 937453134.
• Request by email at economia@ajsabadell.cat.

Allegations must be addressed to the Plenary. The edict establishes that, in the event that there are no claims during the indicated period, the file will be considered definitively approved, without the need for any further publication.

Three municipal companies within the consolidated budget

The general budget is not limited to the perimeter of the City Council, but incorporates the income and expenditure forecasts of the three commercial companies with entirely municipal capital:

• Comunicacions Audiovisuals de Sabadell S.L.
• Promoció Econòmica de Sabadell S.L.
• Habitatges Municipals de Sabadell (VIMUSA)

With this consolidation, the Plenary’s agreement sets the accounting framework for the entire municipal group for the next financial year, including the companies that manage local communication, economic promotion, and public housing.

Background: 2027 ordinances and thirteen credit modifications in 2026

The approval of the budget comes after the Plenary session on October 26, 2026, provisionally approved the modification of the tax ordinances for the 2027 fiscal year, which was subject to public consultation for thirty days (CVE 202610161450). That text affects, among others, the Property Tax (IBI) and various waste taxes, funeral services, and the occupation of public domain. The signature of the ordinance announcement corresponds to the mayor, Mireia Dionisio Calé.

Regarding the fiscal year that is now closing, the City Council has accumulated up to thirteen credit modification files for the 2026 budget; the last one was initially approved on October 26 and published on October 30 (CVE 202610161225). The summary by chapters of the 2026 budget, including the tenth credit modification, was published on November 4 (CVE 202610164744) with a consolidated total of 377,377,840.13 euros, of which 106,400,269.55 euros corresponded to personnel expenses and 75,536,526.80 euros to real investments.

The edict for the 2027 budget does not detail the figures by chapters nor the global amounts, so the magnitudes of the new fiscal year can only be contrasted with the summary that will be published once the file becomes final.

Impact for citizens and entities

The publication opens the formal window for citizens, entities, and political groups to question specific items of the 2027 budget before it is finalized. If there are no claims, the budget will be definitively approved at the end of the fifteen-business-day period and will deploy its economic effects throughout 2027, including the municipal housing, economic promotion, and communication companies.
