Request a location

What is it?

Would you like to sell goods or food from a stall or cart, such as a fish stall, a flower stall, or an ice cream cart (other than at a weekly market)? Then you must apply for a stall permit from the municipality. You will then be allowed to set up your stall in a public place in the open air. For example, on or next to a public road. The permit is personal and non-transferable.

Weekly market

Different rules apply to occupying a stall at a (weekly)markt.

What do I need?

  • You must submit an application for a stand permit.
  • You need a site plan.
  • You will need a written, dated, and signed statement of consent from the landowner, stating the date(s) and time(s) of use of the location. If you are using municipal land, there will be a charge for this. A rental agreement will be drawn up for this purpose.

Additional information

A location permit is different from a market permit.

You need a market place permit if you want a spot at a daily market, weekly market, or annual fair. 

The rules for a trading license are laid down in the municipal General Local Regulation. The municipality must also ensure that public order is maintained. On this basis, the municipality may refuse to grant a trading license.

The municipality may refuse to issue the permit for the following reasons:

  • public order
  • public safety
  • public health
  • environmental protection
  • the protection of the appearance of the municipality
  • in violation of the zoning plan
  • protection of a reasonable level of amenities in the municipality for the benefit of consumers

If you apply for a trading permit, you must also comply with the requirements of other laws. For example, the Environmental Management Act sets rules to prevent nuisance and disturbance. The Commodities Act guarantees the hygiene of the goods on offer.

Even if you occupy a location on land that is not owned by the municipality but is accessible to the public, you will still need a permit. In that case, you must also comply with the applicable zoning plan.
