Since 1 January 2020, the Cantal department of France has counted nine public establishments for intercommunal cooperation (EPCI) with their administrative seats in the department, one agglomerated community and 8 communauté de communes. One additional commune, Montgreleix, is part of the communauté de communes du Massif du Sancy whose administrative seat is located in the Puy-de-Dôme department.
The of the Cantal department met to examine the draft departmental plan for inter-municipal cooperation.[1] On 7 March 2017, the CDCI approved, after examination of amendments, a plan that provided for six intercommunalities for the entirety of the Cantal department from 1 January 2017.[2] [3] This plan was stopped by the Prefect of Cantal on 30 March 2016.[4]
Resistance from numerous communauté de communes to the project to fuse intercommunalities led to abandonmont of part of the legislative project. Finally, on 1 January 2017, the intercommunalities of the Cantal department numbered a total of nine moving forward.[5]
On 1 January 2019, four communes left the Hautes Terres Communauté to join the communauté de communes du Pays Gentiane.[6]
