Choosing the method for determining the communal waste management fee

Summary/Abstract: The Act on Maintaining Cleanliness and Order in Communes provides the basis for choosing the method of determining the fee based on several criteria. It also states that a communal council may apply various criteria differentiating the rates of payment. According to the current case law of the Supreme Administrative Court, the communal council has no right to introduce an additional criterion – within the chosen method of determining the fee – i.e. a division of households into categories depending on the number of tenants. Though, it cannot be excluded that there is a possibility to differentiate the fee calculated as a product of the number of tenants in the given real estate and the sum of the fee when applying the number of tenants as a criterion of differentiation. It has to be stressed that the stance of acceptance of such differentiation may be questioned by supervisory authorities.
