House numbers

You are building or renovating and you want to know about your house number and the other address details of your (living) space.

What do you need to know

  • The municipality determines street names and issues house numbers to new homes and commercial buildings
  • When buildings are demolished, or when (living) spaces are split or merged, things sometimes change with house numbers. For example at the converted into apartments
  • House numbers are listed in the Key Register of Addresses and Buildings (BAG)
  • With the BAGViewer you can look up and view data from the National Supply BAG (LV BAG) online
  • Note: The BAG has no information about your move within or to Hilversum

What do you have to do

  • Usually you cannot apply for a house number yourself. This almost always goes through a environmental permit
    • If you have received a permit, a house number decision will be made automatically if necessary. It states what your new house number is
    • This also applies if a house number is no longer necessary when you renovate two or more (living) spaces into one space
  • In exceptional cases, you can contact the Public Affairs department, Back Office team, via 14 035 of environment permit@hilversum.nl

What does it cost

  • Requesting a house number or having it removed is free
