Reserving parking in Schoten
How to apply
Apply for a public space occupation permit (parking ban) via the Schoten municipality’s online Eagle portal. After approval you get a payment request by e-mail; once paid, you receive the permit. You must hire or buy no-parking signs from a private company and put them up yourself; the municipality does not lend signs.
| When to apply | At least 5 working days in advance (occupation without traffic disruption); 20 working days if there is traffic disruption or a larger set-up. Applications less than 48 working hours in advance are never granted. Put up the signs at least 36 hours in advance; report the number plates of parked cars at least 24 hours in advance via the Eagle portal. |
| Cost | Tax (2026-2031 regulation): €0.50 per day per m² for parking spaces and similar objects (part m² rounded up to the next m²); site installations €1.00 per day per m². Late application, extension or change: €100 administrative fee. Closing 50% of the street width: extra €500. Sign hire from a private company: price on request from the hire company. Cancel at least 48 hours in advance for a full refund. |
| Who places the signs? | You rent the signs from a supplier |
| Limits and furniture lift | An occupation may never fully block traffic. Ask the municipality about the maximum number of days and metres and the rules for a furniture lift. |
| Contact | Mobility department, town hall, Verbertstraat 3, 2900 Schoten - tel. 03 680 29 06 - [email protected] |
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
- 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.
