Environment Counter

Do you want to change something about your home, garden or business? If so, you may need a permit or it is necessary to make a notification. You can do that through the Environment Desk link icon. Not sure if you need a permit? Then do the checkxternal-link-icon. Through the Environment Counter you can:

• Apply for permits: you can apply for all necessary permits through the Environment Counter.
• Complete checklists: you can check what permits you need or what notifications you need to make.
• Project tracking: you can keep track of the status of your application and receive updates on its progress.

Want to know how the digital Environment Counter works and how to log in to it? Then go to the online Help Center at the digital Environment Counter.
Of course, you can always make an appointment (first) at the municipal counter or call/email the municipality about your request for a permit.
