Reserving parking in Maasmechelen
How to apply
Apply online via the municipal website and choose the option ‘verhuis/levering op parkeerplaats’. The permit is sent digitally; display it behind the windscreen. Municipal staff place the no-parking signs. Afterwards you put the signs at the roadside and the municipality collects them.
| When to apply | At least 15 calendar days ahead (also for extensions). For a full road closure: 25 calendar days ahead. On regional roads (e.g. N78 Rijksweg, N763, N742) you first need a permit from the Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer Limburg (Maaseik district). |
| Cost | Free: occupations for deliveries or house moves are exempt from the tax (public-space tax regulation 2026-2031, art. 5b). In paid parking zones there is a cost (report to Cityparking Maasmechelen, [email protected]); ask the municipality for the amount. |
| Who places the signs? | The city |
| Limits and furniture lift | By default 15 metres are reserved (if you need a different length, state it in your application). A maximum of 2 consecutive days. A permit is only granted if there is no acceptable alternative; keep the occupation as small as possible in time and space. Any other signage (e.g. for a furniture lift) must be supplied, placed and removed by the applicant. |
| Contact | Public domain occupation department, Heirstraat 239, 3630 Maasmechelen - [email protected] - 089 76 96 87 |
You always apply to the municipality yourself, not the mover: then mention the length you have reserved in your message.

They send it within 5 hours (same hours). You accept or decline it; if it does not suit you, you can ask once for another mover.
- 5You deal directly with the mover
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.
