The transfer to the commune of the property, rights and obligations of a section of communes is pronounced by the representative of the State in the département at the request of the municipal council in one of the following cases:
– when, for more than three consecutive years, taxes have been paid from the communal budget or admitted as unpaid;
– when the electors have not requested the creation of a syndicate commission even though the conditions for such a creation, as defined in articles L. 2411-3 and L. 2411-5, are reunited;
– when less than half of the electors voted in a consultation;
– when there are no longer any members of the commune section.
Within two months of the transfer order, the representative of the State in the département shall inform the public of the transfer of the section’s assets and notify the transfer order to the syndicate commission when it has been formed, as well as to the mayor of the commune for posting in the town hall for a period of two months.
