Street Vending Exemption
A street vending exemption (ventontheffing) is an exemption required when you wish to sell goods or services on the street or door-to-door outside permitted hours. By default, you may peddle from Monday to Saturday between 09:00 and 17:00. For peddling at other times or on Sundays, you need a vending exemption.
The exemption is granted by the municipality and is based on Article 5:15 of the Model General Local By-law (Model Algemene plaatselijke verordening, APV). The exemption applies to the sale of goods or services door-to-door or on the street, with specific conditions applying to times and locations.
