International Movers to and from Anderlecht
A move in Anderlecht is requested by email to the signage unit, with no counter to visit, a long lead time for the commune's signs and one flat fee in place of a tax by the square metre.
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
How do you ask Anderlecht for a space for the moving lorry?
By email, to the commune's signage unit. The page says plainly that there is no counter, that staff answer by email, and that a telephone line is open on weekdays from 9.30 to 12.00. It lists a move first among the reasons for a request, ahead of a delivery, a container and scaffolding.
Statbel gives Anderlecht 129,600 residents on 1 January 2026, the second most populous commune of the Brussels region, after the City of Brussels itself. Most requests go straight to the commune. The regional Osiris platform comes first only when the space lies outside a parking zone of a communal street or on a regional road; the French page then makes an exception for a move or delivery in a parking zone, while the Dutch version adds a limit of less than one day. If your lorry will stand longer than a day, ask which text applies.
Osiris and the low-emission zone are explained in our Brussels guide; the neighbouring commune Schaerbeek works through an online platform instead of email.
What notice does Anderlecht ask for?
For the commune's own signs, a classic request is due ten working days before the date you want the parking ban, without counting the occupation day.
A rushed request is accepted up to three working days ahead and before 1 pm, with the fees tripled. Extending a ban needs three working days' notice before the current authorisation ends, or the Tuesday before if it ends on a weekend day.
Cancel by email no later than the last working day before the fitting, which itself happens at least two working days ahead of the ban. Cancel later and the whole cost is due, with no refund.
What does a move cost in Anderlecht?
For a move the page asks only for the flat fee for loading and fitting the signs: 125 euros. The tariff table prints "2025 & 2026" beside it, so those are the years it covers.
- 125 euros
flat, for loading, carrying, placing and removing the signs
- 20 euros
for each 24-hour rental period (10 euros per sign, with at least two signs, one at each end)
- 50 euros
flat to extend the period, with the daily rental unchanged
The same page lists an occupation tax of 2.50 euros per square metre per day with a floor of 120 euros, but it also says that for a move you pay only the loading and fitting flat fee. Ask the signage unit to say in writing which line your quote falls under.
Who places the signs and what if cars are still parked?
If you rent the signs from the commune, the commune fits them and marks the ground with chalk. You must then make sure they stay where they are, and you must never move them yourself.
If a sign has to be shifted, telephone the commune's living-environment department straight away, or any towing that results is billed to you. Contractors using their own boards must fit them no later than the second working day before the ban, add a supplementary board showing the period, and report every number plate in the zone, or an empty street, to the local police traffic service within the day.
One sentence matters for a mover: a parking ban does not allow a van to be parked in the reserved zone. If the lorry will stand there for something other than loading and unloading, the page says you need an occupation authorisation for the zone as well.
What does the Anderlecht page leave open?
The page shows no publication date, only budget years, so ask for the current fee in the confirmation.
We did not open the online form, so we cannot say what it asks beyond the list on the page: your name, your national or company number, the reason, the exact address and the first and last day, which may not exceed one month. We also could not tell whether your street is communal or regional; the page links a list of regional roads. The commune does not publish an answering time for a standard request.
Other Brussels communes differ. See Uccle for a form-based request with a price by length, and Jette for a minimum reservation of twenty metres.
Questions about moving to or from Anderlecht
Can you ask Anderlecht for a moving space by visiting the town hall?
The signage page says there is no counter.
Requests go by email to the signage unit, which answers by email and by telephone on weekday mornings.
How far ahead must the commune's signs be requested?
At least ten working days before the date of the parking ban, not counting the day itself.
A rushed request, three working days ahead and before 1 pm, costs triple.
Does a move pay the occupation tax in Anderlecht?
The page lists a tax per square metre but says that for a move you pay only the flat loading and fitting fee, 125 euros for 2025 and 2026.
Ask for the figure in writing.
