• Temporary employment
  The payment takes place upon invitation issued by the Municipalitybefore the granting of the concession.

The fee is calculated based on:

• economic value of the availability of the area, sacrifice imposed on the community by the occupation itself and type of activities carried out by the holders of the concessions, also in relation to the methods of occupation.

Formula for determining the fee

1. Multiply the following factors together:
   • basic rate
   • coefficient relating to road classification
   • coefficient for specific activity
   • occupied surface x days of duration (the days only for temporary occupations).
2. The amount of other fees provided for by law is deducted from the total amount of the fee due, except for those connected to the provision of services.
3. The rent may be increased by any maintenance costs and any other expenses deriving from the occupation of the public space.

The authorization provision indicates the tariff applied, the total amount due and the methods of payment of the fee.

Payment by installments is only permitted for permanent jobs.

If it is not already provided for by the methods contained in the Municipality's annual payment invitation, it is possible to ask to make the payment in four quarterly installments of the same amount with the following deadlines and provided that the total sum due is greater than €1.550,00 per year:

The installment payment involves the application of legal interest.
