Disadvantage compensation
As a result of a municipality's decision, you may experience harm. For example, if the municipality constructs a highway near a residential area. You can then apply for financial compensation from the municipality.
How does it work?
Disadvantage compensation can arise in 2 ways:
- Your house or property has decreased in value because of the plan. This is called property depreciation.
- Your business has less income because of the plan. We call this loss of income.
Compensation damages
To qualify for compensation for loss, 2 things are important:
- You could not have expected the damage when you bought the house or land.
- You have not yet received compensation in any other way.
You will receive compensation if it is not justified that you have to pay for the damage yourself or the damage is not insured.
What to do
You apply for compensation for loss of earnings from the municipality. Indicate the following in your application:
- why you are requesting a fee
- how much compensation you want
- by which spatial plan the damage was caused
- a description of the damage
- the loss amount
- in case of damage to an immovable property: cadastral number
- your bank account number
Please note that you must apply for the reimbursement within 5 years, after the spatial plan is final.
How long does it take?
- The procedure for compensation for loss of earnings takes an average of 1 to 1.5 years.
- If you disagree with the decision, you can object.
Cost
Filing for loss compensation costs €500.00
