Mission and Objectives
is the municipality of the Jordanian capital Amman, which is responsible for providing public and municipal services to the citizens of Amman.
The Amman Municipality is a civil society institution enjoying a legal personality with financial and administrative independence that updates, abolishes and establishes the boundaries of its area under the provisions of the Greater Amman Municipality Law (18) of 2021. It has a border area of 800 km2 and a population of more than 4 million people and is managed by the Municipal Council, which is composed of a number of members determined by the Council of Ministers, with two-thirds of the members directly elected and the remaining third appointed by decision of the Council of Ministers on the recommendation of the President.
The services provided by the Municipality vary and include (134) services provided to various segments of society, ministries, official institutions, and public and private companies upon request. In addition, there are 78 internal services provided by various departments of the Municipality to support each other and enable them to fulfill their role as hoped.
Main Projects / Activities
Since the Municipality is a service institution governed by a range of legislation, such as the Greater Amman Municipality Law (18) of 2021 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the Supplies and Public Works Regulation and the Civil Service Regulation, its financial resources have been defined by the Municipalities Law and the Municipalities' Financial regulation as the taxes and duties levied on services provided, such as building and professions permits, building, land and verification taxes, regulation and traffic violation returns, and others. This is in addition to the return on the Municipality's investments in its lands and real estates, such as rental proceeds for buildings, as well as donations and loans. The Municipality prepares an annual budget that is approved by the Municipal Council and the Prime Minister.
