House numbering

The municipality assigns each new house or commercial property an address with a house number. Is your house number incorrect? If so, you can report this to the Gegevenshuis.

Costs

Assigning a house number is free of charge.

Description

Houses and commercial properties are assigned an address with a house number by the municipality. Mooring and berthing locations are often also assigned an address. All addresses are recorded in the Basic Registration of Addresses and Buildings.

The municipality cannot simply use or change house numbers. If your house number is incorrect, you can report this to the municipality.

Do you want to build a new building or divide a building? Then you will need an environmental permit.

The municipality of Heerlen has outsourced the implementation of the BAG to the BAG/GEO department of the Data House in Landgraaf.

Requirements

The Requirements requesting a change of address or house number in the Basic Registration of Addresses and Buildings are:

  • The municipality has granted a building permit (environmental permit).
  • The municipality has determined that a mistake was made.
