Can a city hall be the headquarters of an association?
Verified 18 April 2024 - Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister), Ministry for Associative Life
Yes, a town hall can be the registered office of an association.
In general, the associations that choose to have their head office in the town hall are those that have local activities or that collaborate with the local authorities (commune, city,...).
The association must make the request by mail.
If the mayor so decides, communal premises can be made available and used by associations that request them.
The Mayor shall determine the conditions under which such premises may be used.
Example :
- Provision one day per week
- Conditions of access
- Schedules
- Distribution of offices between several associations
The provision of the premises can be free or for a fee.
The amount of rent or participation is determined by the city council.
FYI
The registered office of an association may also be situated at the home of one of its members, in institutional premises (school, library,...) but also in a commercial or private office.
