Gemeente Asse

What Gemeente Asse does

Gemeente Asse is the municipal government authority for the municipality of Asse, located in the province of Flemish Brabant, Belgium. It serves the local population with statutory civic administrative functions including civil registration, identity document issuance, building permits, address changes, waste management coordination, and local infrastructure maintenance. The entity operates under the Flemish regional government (Vlaamse Overheid) and is governed by an elected municipal council and college of mayor and aldermen. It is a public administrative body with no private ownership and no commercial revenue model.

The municipality operates a unified digital services platform accessible through asse.be, built and maintained by e-government service provider LCP. Core digital products include E-loket, a 24/7 electronic service counter that allows residents to request certificates and official documents with electronically signed delivery typically within one minute; Afsprakenmodule, an online appointment scheduling system for town hall visits; Mijn profiel, a user account system authenticated via Flemish government SSO (ACM/itsme); and Meldingen, a geolocation-enabled problem reporting tool for infrastructure issues. Supporting technologies include Matomo for privacy-focused web analytics and ReadSpeaker for accessibility. The municipality also publishes a bi-monthly municipal magazine called Assetablieft.

As a public government entity, Gemeente Asse does not generate commercial revenue in the traditional sense. Funding comes from municipal taxes and levies (property taxes, personal income surcharges), federal and regional government subsidies, and administrative service fees for specific documents, with payments accepted via Bancontact at the physical town hall counter. Distribution channels include the physical town hall reception at Gemeenteplein 1, the digital e-loket platform, and partnerships with utility providers (Fluvius for gas/electricity, Farys for water, Telenet for telecom, Intradura for waste management). The entity has 101-250 employees.
