Reserving parking in Mortsel
How to apply
Always apply online for ‘public domain occupation by private individuals’ via the city’s EagleBe form and choose the type ‘moving’. After approval you receive an e-mail with a payment request; the permit is only sent after payment. The city places the parking ban 2 working days before the start, provided you have paid on time.
| When to apply | Move without obstruction of the carriageway: processing time 5 working days (extension 3). With obstruction of the carriageway: 12 working days (extension 5) and a signage plan is required. Payment no later than 3 working days before the start, otherwise the parking ban is not placed. |
| Cost | Placement and collection of no-parking signs by the city: €50 (only if a parking ban is needed). Pay-and-display space on weekdays and Saturdays: €0.80 per m² per day from day one. Pay-and-display space on Sundays, public holidays and 11 July: €0.50 per m² per day from the third day. Other public land: €0.50 per m² per day from the third day. Cancellation: €35 (refund only if cancelled at least 3 days before the start). |
| Who places the signs? | The city |
| Limits and furniture lift | Less than 1.5 m clear passage for pedestrians/cyclists or obstruction of the carriageway: a signage plan is required. Cranes or tall objects: report the height to Antwerp (Deurne) airport. Ask the city about the maximum duration and length and the rules for a furniture or ladder lift. Unlawful occupation: municipal administrative fine. |

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
- 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.
