Waste or bulky disposal: a fine of up to 500 euros handed down by the mayor
Publié le null - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
Non-pruning of trees or hedges, uncontrolled deposit of material or objects blocking the public road, private occupation of the public domain, illegal occupation of the public domain by a trader... The mayor may impose a fine of up to €500. This is what the law of 27 December 2019 on involvement in local life and proximity to public action specifies, which amended the General Code of Territorial Authorities.
In the event of a failure to comply with an order that poses a risk to the safety of persons and that is repetitive or continuous, the mayor first notifies the person of the facts alleged against him, the measures to be taken and the sanctions incurred. The interested party may then submit written or oral observations within 15 days. At the end of this period, if the offender has not taken the necessary measures, he shall be given notice to comply within a further period which may not be less than 15 days. At the end of this second period, if the person still has not taken the required measures, the mayor can impose an administrative fine of € 500, the amount of which benefits the municipality.
Please note
This administrative fine imposed by the mayor does not replace the criminal fine for dumping garbage or failing to comply with collection rules.
For example, when you dump or dump waste on the street, you are liable to a lump sum fine of €68 if you pay it immediately or within 45 days of the payment. It reaches €180 beyond this period. If you don't fix it or you challenge it, the police court judge can decide to increase it. The maximum amount is €450. And, if you used a vehicle to transport the waste, a fine of €1,500 as well as the confiscation of the vehicle may be ordered by the judge.
FYI
The mayor may also request pruning work on all public or private roads open to public traffic when the right of way of the plantations obstructs the passage or presents a risk. The related costs shall be borne by the negligent owners.
