Sometimes you have to pay taxes on an advertising object to the municipality. This is precaria duty: the right to have awnings and balconies with advertising above public land, such as the sidewalk.

  • 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 deadline 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.
