In the event of the creation of a new territorial authority, the deliberative body adopts the budget within three months of this creation.Failing this, the budget is settled and made enforceable by the State representative in the department, following a public opinion from the regional audit chamber, under the conditions provided for in the first and second paragraphs of article L. 1612-2.
These provisions do not apply when the failure to adopt the budget results from the deliberative body not being provided, within two and a half months of its creation, with the information required to draw up the budget. In this case, the deliberative body has fifteen days following this communication to adopt the budget.
