The commune is located in the southern part of Neamt county, on the border with Bacau county, in the upper reaches of the Tazlău river, 40 km from Piatra Neamt municipality. It consists of the village of the same name, with a population of 2,856 inhabitants.

Surface area of the land by type of use (ha):

• Agricultural 1688 ha

• Arable 412 ha

• Grassland 440 ha

• Meadows 831 ha

• Orchards and fruit nurseries 4 ha

• Forest vegetation 14040 ha

• Degraded and unproductive land 131 ha

The main economic activities focus on logging and wood processing. Ecotourism is beginning to take shape, with the historical and natural setting offering opportunities in this direction.

The administration of Tazlău commune has expressed a constant interest in the management of wood waste in the locality.

In the spring of 2021, a branch chipper was purchased to ensure the maintenance of public green spaces, including roadside verges, by staff employed in the town hall.

In the coming period, given the potential of this municipality to be self-sufficient with woody biomass, the town hall is considering heating most public buildings with biomass systems with a capacity of about 230 kW.

The administration's attention is focused on attracting funds to support the development of the area, both through the diversification of agricultural and ecotourism economic activities and through the efficient management of public buildings, with the switch to renewable energy from biomass being an important step.
