Efficiency increase in Losheim: Cooperation with the State Administration Office signed!

The municipality of Losheim am See has agreed a pioneering cooperation with the State Administration Office (LAVA) in order to make the enforcement of monetary claims more efficient. This step was sealed on January 22, 2025 by signing the contract in St. Ingbert by Mayor Helmut Harth and director Arno Sunday. The cooperation enables legal steps to be implemented specifically and efficiently, which benefits both the municipality and the citizens.

With this agreement, Losheim am See relies on a long -term optimization of your enforcement processes. Mayor Harth is pleased about the advantages of this cooperation, which not only increases efficiency, but also contributes to reducing costs. However, the municipality keeps responsibility for the creation of modestly for a fee statement and the sending of reminders. As soon as payments fail to do so, the state administrative office will take on further processing on site.

Legal foundations and advantages of cooperation

According to Section 29 (3) of the Administrative Enforcement Act, municipalities have the option of transferring the enforcement of their own and foreign monetary claims to other municipalities or the state administrative office. This legal basis offers a framework for inter -municipal cooperation and the formation of special -purpose associations that can deal with enforcement. The State Administration Office has already initiated successful partnerships with other municipalities in Saarland, which serve as a model for Losheim am See.

A central aspect of the agreement is the internal preparation phase, in which the necessary interfaces are created to ensure that the cooperation is smooth. These preparations are crucial to facilitate administrative work and to improve the fee and tax justice. Harth optimistically emphasizes the positive effects of this cooperation on the municipal administration.

inter -municipal cooperation in other regions

The developments in Losheim am See are part of a larger trend to promote inter -municipal cooperation in Germany. Similar projects can also be observed in Rhineland-Palatinate, where voluntary cooperation between different administrations are sought. These initiatives are intended to increase efficiency in administrative work as a whole. The district council has already asked to create more effective structures to intensify the cooperation of the administrations.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, additional funding was provided to support municipalities that want to cooperate. These financial incentives can be used for projects such as joint vehicle registration offices or other cross-administrative tasks. Unlike in Losheim am See, where there is a clear partnership with the state administrative office, there are several communities together to exchange their resources and experiences.
