Applying for a special permit to offer goods and services on the street

If you want to offer goods and services in public areas, you must apply for a special use permit.

Public roads, paths or squares are dedicated to public use. This means that these areas are accessible to everyone and can be used by the general public without the need for special permits or restrictions.

If you want to offer goods or services in public areas, this constitutes a special use of public space. You must apply in advance for a permit (special use permit) from the responsible authority.

For special uses in local thoroughfares, please contact the respective city or municipal administration.

Outside the local thoroughfares, the regional offices of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Mobility Office are responsible.

Even if all factual and legal requirements are met, you are not entitled to be granted a special use permit. The competent authority decides on your application at its own discretion.

As a rule, the competent authority will grant you the special use permit for a limited period and subject to revocation. This means that the permit issued can be withdrawn. The permit is usually issued with conditions that you must fulfill.

The competent authority may require you to pay for the removal of any damage caused by your special use. The competent authority may also require you to make an advance payment or deposit a sum of money as security.
