Purchase or Lease of Green Strips and Residual Plots
Under certain conditions, you can purchase a piece of municipal land from the municipality. This often concerns green strips and residual plots that are not directly intended for public use. Renting or temporary use is also possible in some cases, depending on the municipality's plans for the plot in question.
To purchase, rent or temporarily use municipal land, you must submit a written application to the municipality. The municipality assesses your application based on municipal policy and the zoning of the plot.
Requirements
- Written application: You must submit a motivated application to the municipality stating which plot you wish to purchase or rent and for what purpose you intend to use it.
- Municipal policy: The plot must be available for sale or lease according to municipal land policy.
- Zoning: The use must fit within the zoning of the plot according to the zoning plan.
Procedure
- Submit application: Submit a written application to the municipality, addressed to the land policy or land affairs department.
- Assessment: The municipality assesses whether the plot is available and whether your intended use fits within municipal policy.
- Valuation: In case of sale, the value of the plot is appraised to determine the sale price.
- Decision: The municipality decides on your application and may impose conditions.
- Agreement: Upon approval, a purchase or lease agreement is drawn up according to the provisions of the Civil Code Book 7 (Burgerlijk Wetboek Boek 7).
