Reserving parking in Geraardsbergen
How to apply
Apply for a permit to occupy public space via the online form (Eaglebe) or at the Mobility department by appointment. No-parking signs (E3) are lent free of charge by the technical service (while stocks last): collect them by phone appointment at the city depot, Gaverstraat 17A. You place the signs yourself at least 48 hours in advance and then e-mail the number plates of any parked vehicles to [email protected].
| When to apply | At least 10 working days before the start of the occupation; at least 15 working days if a street has to be closed. E3 no-parking signs must be placed at least 48 hours in advance. |
| Cost | Base fee €25 + €0.50 per day per m² occupied (parking space = 10 m²; a started day/m² counts in full). Street closure: + €125. On a road managed by another road authority: €25 regardless of area and duration. E3 signs: lent free of charge; delivery and collection by the technical service: flat fee of €100 per permit. Signs not returned within 7 working days after the permit: charged at the price of new signs. 2026-2031 rates, indexed every year. |
| Who places the signs? | You (or your mover) |
| Limits and furniture lift | Permit for a maximum of 60 calendar days. Return the signs no later than 2 working days after the end. Removal vans and furniture lifts fall under temporary private occupation; ask the city about the maximum length. Traffic signs other than E3 must be provided by the applicant. Regional roads (e.g. N42, N8) for more than 24 hours: separate application to the Agency for Roads and Traffic (Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer). |
| Contact | Local government of Geraardsbergen, Mobility department (Weverijstraat 20, 9500 Geraardsbergen) – [email protected] – 054 43 02 88; city depot (signs): 054 31 61 99 |
You always apply to the municipality yourself, not the mover: then mention the length you have reserved in your message.

Quote accepted: you receive their contact details and they receive yours. You agree and pay directly with them, then you leave a review after the move.
Before you move

- Register your address with your new municipality within 8 working days; a local police officer will visit to confirm.
- Dates: the end of the month and summer are busy. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
