What Gemeente Nunspeet does

Gemeente Nunspeet is a Dutch municipal government authority serving approximately 27,000–28,000 residents across the settlements of Nunspeet, Elspeet, Vierhouten, and Hulshorst in the province of Gelderland on the Veluwe. It operates under the Dutch Gemeentewet and discharges statutory local-government functions including civil registry, municipal taxation (OZB, waste/sewer levies), building and environmental permits under the Omgevingswet, social welfare (Wmo, Jeugdwet, Participatiewet), spatial planning, waste management, public safety and enforcement, youth and education services, refugee reception, and economic development. The municipality is governed by a directly elected municipal council (gemeenteraad) and an executive college of mayor and aldermen; the current 2026–2030 college consists of Mayor Céline Blom with four aldermen from Gemeentebelang, ChristenUnie, CDA Lokaal, and PRO Nunspeet.

The municipality's service delivery is built on a platform-plus-portals digital architecture. The main website (nunspeet.nl) serves as a unified digital front door, supplemented by Mijn Nunspeet (personalized citizen portal), eloket.nunspeet.nl/Djuma (online forms including AVG and WPG requests authenticated via DigiD), Denk Mee Nunspeet (participation platform at denkmee.nunspeet.nl), Nunspeet Leeft Natuurlijk (sustainability portal at nln.nunspeet.nl), the council information system (nunspeet.raadsinformatie.nl), and specialized sub-sites for waste (Mijn Afvalwijzer), social map (socialekaartnunspeet.nl), budget visualization (nunspeet.begrotingonline.nl), and citizen reporting (BuitenBeter). Physical service is delivered at the town hall at Markt 1. The technology stack integrates national systems (BRP, MijnOverheid, DigiD, WOZ), uses Siteimprove for behavioral analytics and Cardan for periodic WCAG 2.2 accessibility audits, and is technically maintained by WIND Internet BV. Compliance certifications include GDPR (AVG/UAVG), Wet politiegegevens (WPG), Wet open overheid (Woo), and partial WCAG 2.2 conformance as of the March 2025 Cardan assessment.

Funding is provided through a municipal budget funded by local taxes, national and provincial government grants (including the algemene uitkering), and limited fees for specific services such as civil-registry extracts, marriage/civil partnership registration, and burial permits. The municipality does not operate a commercial revenue model and does not publicly disclose financial figures. Distribution is multi-channel, combining digital self-service, physical town hall access, the local broadcaster RTV Nunspeet (105.9 FM ether, 93.1 FM cable), and the weekly local newspapers Nunspeet Huis aan Huis and Nunspeter Koerier.
