Within the meaning of article 72-2 of the Constitution, the local authorities’ own resources are made up of the proceeds of taxes of all kinds for which the law authorises them to set the base, rate or tariff, or for which it determines, for each local authority, the rate or a local share of the base, fees for services rendered, proceeds from the domain, town planning contributions, financial proceeds and gifts and bequests.
For the category of communes, own resources are increased by the amount of those mentioned in the first paragraph that benefit public establishments of inter-communal cooperation.
