How to apply
Apply for a ‘public domain occupation’ permit online via Spotbooking (hasselt.spotbooking.be) or by appointment at the Verkeerswinkel (town hall ’t Scheep). State the number of m² and include a compulsory sketch with dimensions (ask your removal company for it, including where the van and lift will go). After approval and online payment, the city places the no-parking signs. Inform your neighbours at least 7 days in advance.

Occupation: €2.50/m²/day inside and on the inner ring road; €1/m²/day between the inner and outer ring roads; €0.50/m²/day outside the outer ring road. Closing the street: €125 per half day (max. 4 hours) inside/on the outer ring road, €62.50 outside it. |

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
- Parking permit: reserve the space with the municipality, at least 5 working days ahead. See how it works
- Furniture lift: from the 2nd floor without a lift, it often saves a lot of time.
- 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.
