You can make the payment via Tikkie Zakelijk. You will receive a payment link by email at the email address you provided in the application.

You can also pay the application fee at the cashier desk of the city shop in the town hall. You will first receive a receipt. With this receipt, you can make the payment at the cashier desk. Please report to the information desk in the town hall first.

The total cost of the application is €233.85.

When submitting your application, you first pay €106.30. This is the first part of the fee.

If your application for a disabled parking space is approved, you will then pay the remaining amount of €127.55.

If your application is rejected or if you withdraw your application yourself, you will still need to pay the initial amount of €106.30.

A medical assessment is required for a disabled parking space. If you do not attend your appointment with the medical advisor, you must pay €143.50.

The legal period for processing your application is 8 weeks. We will try to assist you sooner if possible.

Installing the parking space

A traffic order is required to create a disabled parking space linked to a licence plate. This is required by law. You will only receive the parking space definitively after the traffic order has been published.

After publication, there is a period during which objections can be submitted. This period starts on the date stated in the decision and lasts 6 weeks.

If only a sign needs to be installed, this will be done immediately after publication.

If the parking space needs to be physically adjusted, for example with road markings, we will first wait for the 6‑week objection period to end.

This ensures that any objections can be handled before the work begins.

If the decision is unclear or if you have any questions, we invite you to contact a traffic specialist from the Spatial Development and Policy team of the Municipality of Lelystad by phone (tel. 14 0320). We will go through the decision with you again and provide additional explanation if needed. This may prevent you from having to write a formal notice of objection.
