Sale or rental property municipality
The municipality regularly sells or rents its own land, buildings or spaces in buildings, for example to social organisations. Sometimes there can also be the issue of land on a leasehold basis. The term we use for this is 'issue of real estate'. If the municipality wants to issue real estate, it will announce this on this page and in the Municipal Gazette .
Everyone gets a chance, unless...
Municipalities are required to give everyone who may be interested in the real estate to be issued by the municipality the opportunity to qualify for it. The Supreme Court ruled in a ruling on 26 November 2021, the so-called Didam ruling , explained in broad terms how the municipality should do this. The municipality has set out this in the Policy Framework for Issuing Real Estate further elaborated. The municipality must clearly state if it intends to issue its own real estate. We do this by placing an announcement on this page and in the Municipal Gazette The municipality must also show how a choice is made for a buyer or tenant. This must be done on the basis of objective, verifiable and reasonable conditions.
Under the heading 'Publications' you will find these announcements. In cases where the municipality uses a real estate agent, you will also find a link to the real estate agent's website.
One party qualifies
It may happen that the municipality finds that only one specific party qualifies for an issue. In that case, the municipality announces the issue on this page and in the Municipal Gazette. With an explanation of why only that one party qualifies. You can also find these announcements under the heading 'Publications'.
