Pitch applications

What is it?

If you want to sell items or food from a stall or sales cart, you need to apply for a pitch permit from the municipality. You may then stand with your stall or cart in a public place in the open air. For example, on or near the public road.

You can apply for a pitch if you:

  • Is registered with the Chamber of Commerce
  • have the capacity to act

What to do.

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

  • what goods or services you sell
  • In which location you want the pitch (with location 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.
