Article L2334-20 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

The rural solidarity grant is allocated to communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants and to certain district capitals with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants to take account, on the one hand, of the costs they incur in helping to maintain social life in rural areas and, on the other hand, of the insufficiency of their tax resources.

This grant comprises three fractions. The annual variation in the rural solidarity grant is divided between these three fractions by the Local Finance Committee. In 2023, the share of this variation allocated to the second fraction of the endowment provided for in article L. 2334-22 may not be less than 60% of the total.

Article L2334-20

La dotation de solidarité rurale est attribuée aux communes de moins de 10 000 habitants et à certains chefs-lieux d’arrondissement de moins de 20 000 habitants pour tenir compte, d’une part, des charges qu’ils supportent pour contribuer au maintien de la vie sociale en milieu rural, d’autre part, de l’insuffisance de leurs ressources fiscales.

Cette dotation comporte trois fractions. La variation annuelle de la dotation de solidarité rurale est répartie par le comité des finances locales entre ces trois fractions. En 2023, la part de cette variation allouée à la deuxième fraction de la dotation prévue à l’article L. 2334-22 ne peut être inférieure à 60 % du total.
