Pitch applications

Do you want to sell goods or food from a stall or cart, such as a fish stall, flower stand or ice cream stand? Then apply for a permit from the municipality. You may then set up your stall in a public place in the open air. For example, on or near the public road.

In anticipation of the Omgevingswet , the number of booths has been frozen. Therefore, no new permanent stand permits will be granted. A permanent pitch permit is taken on one or more days every week. However, in exceptional cases, a temporary stand location (less than 14 days) can be assigned. Please take this into account when applying for the pitch.

What to do

You request the permit from the municipality. When doing so, provide the following information:

What goods or services you sell;
In what location you want the pitch (with situational drawing);
On which day or part of the day you want to use the pitch.

How long does it take?

You will be notified within 8 weeks whether you will receive the permit. If there is a waiting list or the municipality has set a maximum then it may take longer for you to receive the permit.

Objecting

Do you disagree with the municipality's decision? Then you can object within 6 weeks.

Additional information

If the municipality is not the owner of the land where you want your pitch, you also need permission from the landowner.

A stand permit is different from a marketplace permit or a peddling permit.

You need a market place permit if you want a place at a daily, weekly or annual market. A peddling permit is required if you sell goods on the street or door-to-door. Peddling means that you sell your goods in a different place each time.
