How do I get issued a usage permit?

Processing time

Submit applications early to avoid delays in development or event planning. Applicants are responsible for providing all necessary documents and ensuring their completeness.

Processing time guidelines

• General use permits (minor developments and events): 3 to 8 business days
• Increased traffic intervention and local impact: 9 to 30 business days This applies to city land use and traffic interventions lasting one day or longer.
• Larger developments and events: longer processing time and special consultation Provide information about development or events well in advance to allow for proper assessment and planning.

The processing time for applications varies based on the nature and scope of the development or event.

In many cases, it's necessary to seek the opinion of other concerned parties such as Strætó bs., police, residents, and other stakeholders, which can extend the processing time. For larger projects, a special consultation meeting is convened with permit holders and relevant stakeholders.

Fee schedule
