Would you like to sell goods or food from a stall or vehicle, such as a fish stall, a flower stall, or an ice cream truck? If so, you must apply for a pitch licence from the municipality. This allows you to set up your stall in a public outdoor space, such as on or along a public road.

What to do?

You can apply for the “ licence ” at city hall. When doing so, please provide the following information:

  • what goods or services you are selling
  • where you would like the pitch to be located (with a situation Map)
  • which day or part of the day you wish to use the pitch 

How long does it take?

You will be notified within 8 weeks whether you will receive the licence . If there is a waiting list or if the municipality has set a limit, it may take longer before you receive the licence .

File an objection

Do you disagree with the municipality's decision? If so, you can submit an objection within 6 weeks. 

Extra information

If the municipality does not own the land where you want to set up your stall, you will also need a “ authorisation ” from the landowner.

A pitch licence is different from a markt licence or a door-to-door selling licence.

You need a markt licence if you want a space at a daily market, weekly market, or annual market. You need a door-to-door selling licence if you sell goods on the street or from door to door. Hawking means that you continually sell your goods from different locations.
