Gemeente Putten

What Gemeente Putten does

Gemeente Putten is a municipal government entity (gemeente) in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands, serving approximately 25,000 residents in the Veluwe region. Founded in 1795, the municipality delivers a full range of local public services — civil registration, marriage and partnership registration, passports and ID documents, permits, social welfare and income support, waste management, public safety, urban planning, housing, elections, and local economic development. Governance is exercised through the Gemeenteraad (Municipal Council) and the College van Burgemeester en Wethouders (Mayor and Aldermen), with a new coalition agreement "Met vertrouwen vooruit" covering 2026-2030 and a freshly constituted portfolio distribution finalized on 7 July 2026.

The operating technology stack is a standard municipal services platform comprising a citizen service portal (iburgerzaken.putten.nl) for online civil-affairs applications, an online appointment booking system (putten.mijnafspraakmaken.nl), and back-office administrative systems. The organization employs 234 staff based at its headquarters at Fontanusplein 1, Putten, with service delivery across four channels: walk-in at the town hall (Mon-Fri 08:30-12:30), the digital portal, telephone ((0341) 359 611) plus WhatsApp, and the appointment booking system.

Revenue is generated from three streams: municipal taxes (primarily onroerendezaakbelasting / property tax and other local levies), transactional service fees for administrative outputs (e.g., €2.40 per certified copy, €41.35 per Certificate of Conduct / VOG application), and recurring central government funding and subsidies. Customers are segmented horizontally into citizens/residents (primary) and local businesses/entrepreneurs (secondary). As a government entity, Gemeente Putten does not offer commercial products, has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no patents, no funding rounds, and does not publicly disclose revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Tyler Technologies: Large US-headquartered vendor of public-sector software including ERP, citizen services platforms, and digital government solutions. Comparable as the technology supplier category that powers many municipal service portals like Gemeente Putten's iburgerzaken.putten.nl — relevant for understanding the underlying technology stack and vendor ecosystem.
• Gemeente Ede: Larger Gelderland municipality (~120,000 residents) with the same Dutch municipal mandate, situated on the southern Veluwe edge. Comparable in offering the full civil, social, and administrative service portfolio but at materially greater operational scale and digital sophistication.
• Gemeente Apeldoorn: Larger Veluwe/Gelderland municipality (~165,000 residents) operating the same Dutch municipal mandate at scale. Demonstrates how a regional anchor municipality invests in digital services, sustainability, and economic development — providing a benchmark for what scaled municipal delivery looks like versus Putten's smaller operation.

Regional players

• Gemeente Zeist: Mid-sized Dutch municipality (~65,000 residents) in Utrecht province operating the same municipal mandate with comparable digital citizen portal infrastructure and multi-channel service delivery. Useful peer for benchmarking online service maturity for a small-to-mid Dutch municipality.
