Green spaces and residual land, buy or rent
The Municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel owns a lot of land along roads and paths. This land is usually intended for public use and is therefore not for sale. Sometimes the municipality also owns land that does not have a public function. In those cases, the municipality can sell the land.
How does it work?
Would you like to buy or rent land from the municipality and want to know if you qualify? Email the Department of Development and Advisory Space at gemeente@t-diel.nl. In the mail, put your name, address and phone number and indicate as clearly as possible which land you would like to buy (next to, in front of or behind your home and how many meters). If possible, for clarification, please attach a situation sketch to your message. As soon as we receive your request we will assess it. You can also call us at telephone number 14 0511 (without the area code).
How long does it take?
Reviewing your request will take approximately 2 to 6 weeks. If your request is denied, you will be notified in writing. If granted, you will receive a written offer.
Terms
In the following cases, sale of green spaces is excluded in any case:
- Green spaces, which are part of a larger whole
- Greenery between playgrounds and gardens
- Greenery along public paths between gardens

- Shredded greenery with cables and pipes can only be sold if a right in rem is established. If there are many pipes or if there are heavy pipes in the land strip in question, we may still decide not to proceed with the sale.
If any of these issues arise, the municipality will not sell the land.
Issue procedure
The procedure for the issuance of snippet green is described in an issuance protocol, more information on this can be found in Chapter 11. You can also consult this issuance protocol at Documents, at the bottom of this web page.
Are you renting a property?
If you are not an owner but a tenant of the property, you cannot buy the land. In this case, the municipality will assess whether you may rent the land.
Land put into use
In the past, some green spaces have been withdrawn from public view because these spaces have been converted into gardens/yards by adjoining owners. This often happened with the permission of the municipality. Some of these strips are still of public interest, because sewers or cables and pipes lie underneath them.
Sometimes hedges/fences or other items belonging to landscaping are placed close to the road or are on top of sewers and get in the way when the municipality needs to access them. The strips that are of public interest, the municipality wants to furnish as such.
What does it cost?
How the municipality handles prices when selling and leasing land can be read in the Land Valuation Letter 2025 - Municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel, this letter can be consulted under Documents, at the bottom of this page.
