File an objection

If you disagree with a decision of the municipality, you can file an objection within 6 weeks. For example:

  • because you applied for a permit but did not receive it;
  • or your neighbors have received a permit that you disagree with;
  • or you disagree with a tax assessment from the municipality.

You can often object to a decision made by the municipality.

  • You can do this by sending a letter of objection to the municipality.
  • In your letter of objection, explain why you disagree with the decision.
  • The municipality must then make a new decision.
  • Do you also disagree with this second decision? Then you can often file an appeal with the court.

Objection to WOZ assessment or tax

Information on how to object to a WOZ assessment or tax assessment can be found on the page Objection to WOZ assessment/tax assessment.

How does it work?

In Tytsjerksteradiel, there are two ways to object to a municipal decision. This can be done online or in writing.

Submit an objection

Examples of decisions for which you can submit an objection are:

  • the denial of the requested environmental permit, assistance, or subsidy;
  • granting an (environmental) permit to someone else, which directly disadvantages you.

In most cases, a decision is announced by sending it to the person concerned (usually the applicant). It must also indicate when interested parties can lodge an objection. The deadline for lodging an objection is six weeks and starts on the day following the announcement.

A notice of objection is prepared by the objections committee. This committee usually holds a hearing and then issues an advice to the mayor and aldermen. Subsequently, the mayor and aldermen make a decision on the objection.

The above also applies to decisions made by the mayor or the municipal council.

What do I include in a letter of objection?

In an objection, you must at least state:

  • your name and address;
  • the date on which you write the letter of objection;
  • a description of the decision against which you are lodging an objection;
  • the reasons why you object;
  • your signature.

Where should I send the letter of objection?

Send your objection to: Mayor and Aldermen of the Municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel, Postbus 3, 9250 AA Burgum.

Objection rejected, what now?

Do you disagree with the new decision of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen? Then you can appeal to the court within six weeks.

Filing an appeal

If your objection is rejected, you can file a written appeal with the court.
