French Public Inter-Municipal Cooperation Establishments (EPCI) with Own Taxation

Public establishments for inter-communal cooperation (EPCI) are groupings of French municipalities formed to create common development projects. The dataset, published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières, specifically details EPCIs with their own taxation powers, such as Urban Communities and Communities of Agglomeration. It was last updated in April 2019.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution and types of inter-municipal cooperation structures based on the described categories (CU, CA, CC, SAN, ME).
• Study the fiscal landscape of French local authorities based on the distinction between EPCIs with and without own taxation.
• Map administrative boundaries and cooperation zones for regional development projects as suggested by the 'common development projects' purpose.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific and legally defined category of French public institutions (EPCIs with own taxation).
• Provides a clear conceptual breakdown of institution types (Urban Community, Community of Agglomeration, etc.) within the description.
