The communauté de communes is dissolved:
a) Either ipso jure on expiry of the term set by the decision establishing it or when it no longer has more than one member commune;
b) Or by the consent of all the municipal councils concerned.
It may be dissolved:
a) Either at the reasoned request of the majority of these municipal councils by order of the representative(s) of the State in the department(s) concerned;
b) Or, where the communauté de communes has opted for the tax system defined in Article 1609 nonies C of the General Tax Code, at the request of the municipal councils under the majority conditions required for creation by order of the representative(s) of the State in the department(s) concerned;
c) Or ex officio by a decree issued on the assent of the Council of State.
A copy of the dissolution order or decree is sent to the departmental council for information.
The dissolution order or decree determines, in compliance with the provisions of article L. 5211-25-1 and subject to the rights of third parties, the conditions under which the communauté de communes is wound up.
The distribution of the staff concerned between the member communes may not give rise to a release from management. The personnel concerned are appointed to a post at the same level and taking into account their acquired rights. The recipient municipalities bear the corresponding financial costs.
