Mayor Daniel Passerini has initiated several legislative reforms in Córdoba. On October 23, 2026, the Mayor submitted proposals to modernize the Municipal Tax Code. This reform aims to adjust the retributive tax for commercial, industrial, and service sectors following legal challenges. The Supreme Court of Justice previously noted “enormous laxity” in the city’s tax formula, and the logistics company Loginter S.A. has questioned the tax’s constitutionality. The new code seeks to define services provided to taxpayers and exclude certain investment income from the tax base.

On October 29, 2026, the Córdoba City Council approved reforms to the Municipal Employee Statute. These changes strengthen entry requirements and oversight for all municipal staff, including permanent, transitory, and contract employees. New regulations mandate annual background checks through various registries and annual urine tests for illegal psychotropic drugs. Employees are also required to report any criminal indictments or judicial measures, regardless of whether they occur during official duties.
