Residents' Question Time

Read aloud

As a resident, you have the opportunity to ask questions about the topics discussed and other matters of the municipality in public meetings of the municipal council.

A residents' question time can be scheduled by a municipal representation within its meeting.

Public meetings are, for example, those of municipal councils or district councils as well as their specialist committees, provided that the rules of procedure stipulate that they take place in public.

Which documents are required?

If necessary, the meeting body will verify your identity as the questioner. That's why it makes sense to have proof of identity with you.

Requirements

As a questioner, you must be a resident of the municipality, i.e. you must have your domicile or permanent residence in the municipality. The questions must concern matters of the municipality.

Costs

Fee: free of charge
