The Local Commission for the Evaluation of Transferred Charges

Communities of municipalities subject to the single professional tax regime and member municipalities have an obligation to set up a local commission to assess the transferred expenses. This commission, as its title indicates, has the main task of assessing the transfer of municipal expenses to EPCI. It is made up of members of the municipal councils of the 16 municipalities. Each city council has at least one representative.
The CLECT intervenes with each new transfer of municipal charges to the community of communes, the commission must propose and validate a report assessing the associated expenses in the year in which these transfers are made, in other words before 31 December of that year.
The CLECT may also propose at any time to revise the old municipal charges transferred or to revise the amount of the old municipal compensation awards.
