Placing temporary object in public space

What is it?

If you want to temporarily use municipal land for such purposes as storing construction materials or erecting scaffolding or a container, you must apply for an exemption from the municipality. If the municipality agrees, it will remain the owner of the land, but you will be granted the right to use the land temporarily for a specified purpose.

What to do.

You ask the municipality if you may use the land. When doing so, provide the following information:

  • The reason for which you want to use the land;
  • Location;
  • The start and end dates of when you want to use the land;
  • A situation sketch of the land.

Directly arrange

You can apply online for use of municipal land. In the Environment Counter, choose the activity "Place construction material, container or other temporary object" when you perform the permit check. Are you submitting the application directly without performing the permit check? Then choose the activity "Store movable property".
