"La iniciativa tiene como objetivo la configuración de las tarifas del abastecimiento del agua de los municipios como prestaciones patrimoniales de carácter público no tributarias dado la naturaleza de servicio público esencial."


I understand "no tributarias" as meaning not taxable, but together with "prestaciones patrimoniales de carácter público" I'm lost. Thank you!

Notes to answerer
Asker: I ended up using "services" instead of "assets" (given that the quote was about the metropolitan water service), but thank you for the clarificatoin!

(property-related) non-tax compulsory payment


Explanation:
More or less literally the original says "(individual) property related non-tax compulsory payment / compulsory contribution to public funds". It refers to a non-tax revenue and it is a particular legal case -unknown of, I believe, in the US. See a full analysis here:

Non-Tax Revenue is the recurring income earned by the government from sources other than taxes

Non-tax compulsory payments
https://www.google.es/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://w...


As for translation, other than trying a more or less literal rendering, I'd probably go with non-tax compulsory payment (or maybe non-tax revenue) with a note explaining the case at hand; (...) as a property-related non-tax compulsory payment

non-taxable, public utility payments


Explanation:
tributario - tax-related (West).

Diversifying back out of Catalan and into Castilian Spanish, I am faced with an unenviable choice of previous, highly divergent entries lile public charges, property (vs. personal) obligations, property lien bonds and representing income for the taxpayer.

Thanks to Chema for making me rethink this (stinker of a) question.

One thing is for sure: patrimonial is a no-no.

Example sentence(s):
  • ...los tributos, desde la perspectiva constitucional, son prestaciones patrimoniales coactivas que se satisfacen, directa o indirectamente, a los entes públicos con la finalidad de contribuir al sostenimiento de los gastos públicos (art. 31,1 CE).
  • Compare: non-revenue > refers to the difference between the amount of water that enters the distribution system and the amount of water billed to consumers.
