Pitch applications
What is it?
If you want to sell items or food from a stall or sales truck, 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.
