Article L5212-20 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

The contribution of the associated communes mentioned in 1° of article L. 5212-19 is compulsory for these communes for the duration of the syndicate and within the limit of the requirements of the service as determined by the decisions of the syndicate.

The committee of the syndicate may decide to replace all or part of this contribution with the proceeds of the council tax on second homes and other furnished premises not used as the principal dwelling, property taxes and the business property tax.

The levying of these taxes may not, however, be continued unless the municipal council, which must be consulted within forty days, has not objected by allocating other resources to the payment of its share.

Article L5212-20

La contribution des communes associées mentionnée au 1° de l’article L. 5212-19 est obligatoire pour ces communes pendant la durée du syndicat et dans la limite des nécessités du service telle que les décisions du syndicat l’ont déterminée.

Le comité du syndicat peut décider de remplacer en tout ou partie cette contribution par le produit de la taxe d’habitation sur les résidences secondaires et autres locaux meublés non affectés à l’habitation principale, des taxes foncières et de la cotisation foncière des entreprises.

La mise en recouvrement de ces impôts ne peut toutefois être poursuivie que si le conseil municipal, obligatoirement consulté dans un délai de quarante jours, ne s’y est pas opposé en affectant d’autres ressources au paiement de sa quote-part.
