Gemeente Son En Breugel

What Gemeente Son En Breugel does

Gemeente Son en Breugel is a public government municipality in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands, serving approximately 17,000 residents and local businesses in the towns of Son and Breugel. Under the Dutch Gemeentewet, it holds exclusive statutory authority for local administration, public safety, waste management, environmental permits, urban planning, social services, youth care, healthcare coordination, building permits, and elections within its jurisdiction. Service delivery is anchored at the Raadhuisplein 1 municipal office and the CMD social services office at Heistraat 6, supplemented by digital channels including an online Eloket portal, appointment booking system, secure ZIVVER email, and a weekly municipal gazette (Mooi Son en Breugelkrant).

The municipality operates a digital municipal service platform built around online service requests, issue reporting (Melding Doen), local regulation databases, official announcements on overheid.nl, and citizen participation tools (objection filing via DigiD/eHerkenning and zienswijze submissions). Auxiliary technology integrations include ReadSpeaker for accessibility, SIManalytics for anonymous traffic measurement, Leaflet for maps, and YouTube/Vimeo for media embedding. The municipality participates in an extensive regional cooperation ecosystem: Metropoolregio Eindhoven (21 municipalities), Omgevingsdienst Zuidoost Brabant (environmental permits), Veiligheidsregio Brabant-Zuidoost (safety), GGD Brabant Zuidoost (public health), Jeugdregio (youth care across 21 municipalities), the Brainport Eindhoven innovation region, and Dienst Dommelvallei (shared HR, finance, IT services with Nuenen and Geldrop-Mierlo). The municipality is also a shareholder in Respectrum Son en Breugel B.V., operator of Begraafplaats Wolfswinkel and crematorium.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid public-sector model: recurring local taxes and levies (OZB property tax, afvalstoffenheffing waste tax, rioolheffing sewerage tax, precario tax, purification and market fees), transaction-based leges for permits and administrative procedures, central government grants via the gemeentefonds, and minor income streams such as tourist/stay tax. Pricing is set by municipal ordinance and indexed periodically (e.g., plankosten indexed from January 1, 2027). Recent strategic actions include acquiring shares in Respectrum Son en Breugel B.V. (May 2026), forming a new College for the 2026-2030 term, executing the Nadere Overeenkomst with Enexis for electricity grid expansion, deploying the Khonraad ICT module for temporary house ban procedures, and entering labor migrant housing services to support Brainport regional workforce demand.
