- period during which advertising remains visible
Cost
The cost of the permit depends on our established standard fee. You can read this in the 2024 fee regulation
Description
If you want to hang advertising on your premises, you may need an environmental permit. This depends in particular on the conspicuousness of the advertising, the location and the period in which you want to place the advertising. If you do not need a permit, you do report the advertising to the municipality.
Sometimes you have to pay tax to the municipality on an advertising object. This is precaria tax: the right to have awnings and balconies with advertising above public land, such as the sidewalk.
Terms
You must apply for an environmental permit for advertising if it involves:
- a large billboard
- moving advertisement
- illuminated advertising
- advertising in the center
- long-term advertising
Term
The municipality decides within 8 weeks of receiving your application. The municipality may extend this period once.
Objection and appeal
You can object to the decision on your application. Do this within 6 weeks. Do you then disagree with the decision on the objection? Then file an appeal with the court.
