French to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs

des contributions de droit public (taxes, charges de préférence, etc.)

This is part of the list of communal charges and costs in the bylaws of a condominium, under Swiss law. If it helps anyone, the German term is Vorzugslasten.

TIA. For reference, here is the relevant part of the Swiss Civil Code:

Art. 712h
1 The condominium owners bear the charges in relation to the communal
parts of the property and the costs of joint administration in
proportion to the value of their shares.
2 In particular, such charges and costs include:
1. regular maintenance, repairs and renovations of the communal
parts of the parcel of land and the building and shared fittings
and installations;
2. administration, including remuneration of the administrator;
3. public duties and taxes imposed collectively on the co-owners;
4. interest and capital repayments to lenders to whom the property
is mortgaged or to whom the codominium owners are
jointly and severally liable.
3 Where specific parts of the building, fittings or installations are of
little or no benefit to certain condominium owners, the allocation of
shared costs must take this into account.
