In France, the community of communes exerts instead of common the members a certain number of competences defined by the law of the February 6th 1992 relating to the territorial administration of the Republic, modified by the law of the July 12th 1999, then the law of the February 27th 2002. The relevant provisions are codified by the legislative parts (text) and lawful (text) of the general Code of the territorial collectivities (CGCT) whose L5214-1 article gives the following definition:

“The community of communes is a public corporation of inter-commune co-operation (EPCI) gathering several communes of only one holding and without enclave. It has the aim of associating communes within a space of solidarity, for the development of a joint project of development and fitting-out. ”

Contrary to the others Intercommunalités (communities of agglomeration and urban communities), the communities of communes are not subjected to a minimum threshold of population. The only constraint is the geographical continuity, which does not call into question the communities of communes created before.

Main features

It is a EPCI with clean taxation by the Professional tax and generally TPU (single professional tax with partial transfer with the communes).

It is managed by a Community council. The delegates of each common are elected by the municipal councils. Each commune at least has a seat and no commune can have more half of the seats.

Obligatory competences:

  • economic development
  • fitting-out.
  • a competence to be chosen among four blocks:
    • protection and development of the environment
    • housing policy and framework of life
    • creation, installation and maintenance of the roadway system
    • construction, maintenance and operation of cultural, sporting equipment and of teaching préélémentaire and elementary.
The council of community can also choose optional competences which it defines itself.

The communes choose, inside the blocks, precise competences which they delegate to the community. As from the moment when competences are deputy, the communes cannot any more exert them.

In 2004, there exist 2286 communities of communes in France. It creates for itself news regularly of them (approximately a thousand have less than five years of existence). They gather nearly twenty-four million inhabitants.
