A protective legal framework
Article 72-2 of the Constitution
Local authorities benefit from resources they can use freely in the conditions fixed by the law.
They can receive all or part of the proceeds issued from all kind of taxations. The law can authorize them to fix the
scope and rate in the limit it determines.
Fiscal receipts and other own resources of local authorities represent, for each category of local authorities, a
determining part of all their resources. The organic law fixes the conditions in which this rule is implemented.
Any transfer of competencies between the State and the local authorities comes along the allocation of equivalent
resources to those that were dedicated to their exercise. Any creation or extension of competencies having an
increase in expenditures of the local authorities as a consequence comes along resources fixed by the law.
The law plans devices for adjustment intended to favor equality between the local authorities.
Article L1612-4 of the General Local Authorities Code
The budget of the local authority is in real balance when the functioning and the investment sections are
respectively voted in balance, incomes and expenditures having been evaluated in a sincere way, and when the
debit on the incomes of the functioning section to the benefit of the investment section, added to the own receipts
of this section, excluding the proceeds from borrowings, and eventually the endowments of amortizations and
provisions accounts, provides enough resources to cover the capital repayments of the borrowings maturing in the
course of the exercise.
