What Gemeente Oirschot does
Gemeente Oirschot is a small Dutch municipality (gemeente) in the province of North Brabant, serving approximately 19,000 residents distributed across five villages: Oirschot (the main center), Spoordonk, Oostelbeers, Middelbeers, and Westelbeers. The municipality operates from its headquarters at Sint Jorisstraat 55 in Oirschot and employs 211 staff. Its core function is the delivery of statutory public services mandated under Dutch municipal law, including waste collection and the operation of an environmental station (milieustraat) at Herder Pasmansdreef 12, environmental and construction permitting, identity document issuance (passports, ID cards, driver's licenses), local taxation, public safety coordination, spatial planning, and economic development. The municipality also hosts the Generaal-majoor de Ruyter van Steveninckkazerne, the largest military base in the Netherlands.
Service delivery is structured around a multi-channel model: a physical Publiekshal/WIJzer customer service desk, a Klant Contact Centrum (KCC) for telephone and digital inquiries, a dedicated Bedrijfscontactfunctionaris (Jesica Silvany) for business inquiries, and a digital self-service portal authenticated via the national DigiD (citizens) and eHerkenning (businesses) identity systems. The platform integrates with national and regional service providers including Mijn Overheid, Omgevingsloket (environmental permits), Tenderned (procurement), De AfvalWijzer (waste calendar), iLost (lost-and-found), Reppido (citizen reporting), and BuitenBeter (traffic safety). Accessibility features include ReadSpeaker text-to-speech, contrast adjustment, and text enlargement.
Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of local taxes and fees levied on residents and businesses — including onroerendezaakbelastingen (OZB), afvalstoffenheffing (waste levy: €135.87 fixed annual plus per-emptying charges), rioolheffing (sewerage fee tiered by water consumption, up to €1,262.40 annually for high consumers), toeristenbelasting (tourist tax: €2.55/person/night standard), reclameheffing (advertising levy: €1.45 per €1,000 of WOZ value, €375-€775 range), and leges (administrative fees for permits and licenses). The municipality operates a planned merger with neighboring Best, participates in the Kempengemeenten cooperation with Bergeijk, Bladel, Eersel, and Reusel-De Mierden for shared social services, ICT, and VTH functions, and sits within the Metropoolregio Eindhoven and Veiligheidsregio Brabant-Zuidoost regional structures covering 21 municipalities and approximately 720,000 residents.

- Gemeente Meierijstad: Larger North Brabant municipality formed by a recent merger (Schijndel, Sint-Oedenrode, Veghel). Direct precedent and comparable case study for the planned Best-Oirschot fusie, especially around shared workforce-development (WSD) cooperation.
- Gemeente Eersel: Kempengemeenten partner municipality in the same Midden-Brabant region, comparable in population scale and rural-urban mix, with shared service arrangements.
- Gemeente Bladel: Fifth member of the Kempengemeenten partnership. Similar size, rural profile, and service delivery model as Oirschot, sharing ICT and permitting functions.
- Gemeente Reusel-De Mierden: Fifth Kempengemeenten member. Small rural municipality with comparable population, governance structure, and shared service cooperation profile.
- Gemeente Hilvarenbeek: Adjacent small North Brabant municipality with similar rural profile, population scale, and tourism economy (Safaripark Beekse Bergen). Comparable revenue model including toeristenbelasting.
Others

Broad incumbents
- Gemeente Eindhoven: Anchor of Metropoolregio Eindhoven (MRE) — a much larger municipality that leads the regional cooperation in which Oirschot participates. Provides a broader comparison point for service delivery scale and digital maturity.
- Gemeente Veldhoven: Larger Brainport-adjacent municipality providing a benchmark for how mid-sized municipalities in the region manage growth, housing development, and ASML-driven economic spillover.
