Where the application goes
This is a responsibility of the mayor and goes through the municipality's own service desk. We look it up for you, but do not submit it.
Apply yourself. In the Netherlands an authorized representative may submit the application via the Environment Portal (DSO), so this can be outsourced. We are building that service; today we look it up for you and do not yet submit. This page shows what it costs and where it needs to go.
