Pitch applications

What is it?

Do you want to sell goods or food from a stall or cart, such as a fish stall, a flower stand or an 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.

What to do?

You apply for the permit from the municipality. Please provide the following information with your application:

  • what goods or services you sell
  • In which spot 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. Is there a waiting list or has the municipality 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

Is the municipality not the owner of the land where you want your pitch? Then you also need permission from the landowner.

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