Historical

After several months of negotiations, the community advisers of the two community of communes of Pornic and Cœur Pays de Retz decided to merge them on 13 June 2016 within an urban community called "Pornic Agglo Pays de Retz".[2]

The agglomeration community was created on 1 January 2017 by prefectural decree of 9 November 2016.[3][4] On 5 January 2017, during its inaugural meeting, the community council elected the mayor of Pornic, Jean-Michel Brard, as president of the agglomeration community.[5]

On 1 January 2020, the municipality of Villeneuve-en-Retz left the communauté de communes Sud Retz Atlantique [fr] and joined Pornic Agglo Pays de Retz.[6]

Powers

The intercommunality exercises the powers which have been transferred to it by the member municipalities, under the conditions defined by the general code of local authorities .

Tax regime and budget

The agglomeration community is a public establishment of inter-municipal cooperation with its own tax system.

In order to finance the exercise of its powers, the intercommunality collects the single professional tax [ 3 ] (FPU) - which succeeded the single professional tax (TPU) - and ensures an equalization of resources between the residential municipalities and those with of activity zones.

Workforce

In order to implement its obligations, the inter-municipal association employs 200 agents.


Notes

  1. The population densities are calculated automatically in a Geographic information system (GIS) using the geometric surface of the municipality, with a level of precision of the contour of 5 m as it emerges from the export of the division administrative at municipal level (outlines of municipalities) from OpenStreetMap, and not the cadastral area defined by INSEE, which is purely administrative data. Class differences may thus possibly appear for municipalities that are at the limit of crossing the class threshold.
