Renovating in Venlo
The ratio of owner-occupied to rental is 59 percent owner-occupied homes and 41 percent rental homes. Most of the housing stock was built between 1950 and 1970, alongside a pre-war segment of around 14 percent, mostly found in the historic centres of Venlo-Centrum and Tegelen. This determines which renovations are common in Venlo and how best to set up an application.

§04 Permit required?
Do you need a permit in Venlo?
Since the Environment and Planning Act came into force (1 January 2024), you apply for an environmental permit (planning permission) through the Environment Desk. Some renovations are permit-free, others require a permit. We carry out the permit check upfront so you know exactly where you stand.
Whether you can build without a permit depends on where the structure is located (the rear-garden zone), the height and the distance to the property boundary, and the municipality's environment and planning policy. A rear dormer or small extension is often permit-free; a roof extension, a front extension or work on a listed building almost never is. Even permit-free construction must comply with the technical building requirements of the Buildings Decree (Bbl).
If a permit is required, the standard procedure applies: the municipality decides within 8 weeks, with a one-off extension of 6 weeks. Your plans are assessed against the Buildings Decree (Bbl), the environment and planning policy, and the aesthetics committee criteria. In Venlo we know and check the aesthetics policy from the municipality in advance, so your design passes the assessment first time. Read more about the applying for an environmental permit.

§06 Service area
Construction drawings in Venlo and surrounding area
Venlo is the largest city in North Limburg and the second-largest municipality in the province of Limburg, strategically situated on a bend of the Maas directly on the border with Germany. The municipality comprises four urban districts (Venlo, Blerick, Tegelen and Belfeld) and the former municipalities of Arcen en Velden and Lomm, which were merged in 2001 and 2010. Thanks to its location on the A67 and A73 and its proximity to the German Ruhr region, Venlo has traditionally played a role as a trading and logistics city.
