Summary

To occupy a public space (e.g. selling flowers, fruit and vegetables, post card stands, etc.), either all year round or on a seasonal basis, you need prior authorisation from the municipality in which you are trading.

In detail

Procedure

To apply for this authorisation, you must fill in the form provided for that purpose, which must be sent to the municipality where you plan to display the goods.

The applicant will be charged a fee.

Costs

A fee is payable to the municipality.

As the concept of a pitch involves occupying a surface area, the amount of the fee must be calculated according to the number of square metres of that area and ideally per day of occupancy.

The available payment methods may differ depending on the municipality: cash, card, bank transfer, or electronic payment if the municipality has an e-counter.

Deadlines

Authorisation applications must be submitted at least 1 month before the day on which a space on the public road is occupied. However, this deadline may vary from one municipality to another. Contact the municipality concerned to find out the exact timeframe.

Clearly, you may only occupy a space on the public road once you are in possession of an official authorisation issued by the municipal administration.
