Province of Noord-Holland: applying for compensation for damage caused by provincial water management

You may be eligible for compensation for damage or loss resulting from an administrative act under the following conditions, among others:

• You are suffering or will suffer damage due to work within the framework of water management.
• The damage is far greater than what counts as a normal social risk.
• You are affected more than others in the same situation.
• There is no other insurance that compensates for the damage or loss.

If you have applied for compensation it will take 4 months before we make a final decision. Is more research needed? We make final decision within 7 months.

If you have applied for a permit and you do not agree with our decision on your application, you can lodge an objection. You will need to do this within 6 weeks of the decision. If you disagree with the decision on your objection, you can lodge an appeal with the court within 6 weeks.
