Creating a Municipal Authorization – Step by Step

A detailed guide to navigating municipal authorizations

Written by Eszter Polyák

In order for your accountant to act on behalf of your company in municipal tax matters, a separate authorization must be created for each relevant municipality.

This authorization is not universal; it must be created separately for each relevant municipality.

If your company has additional business locations besides its registered office, a separate authorization must be submitted to each relevant municipality.

❗ If your registered office or business location is in Budapest

A double authorization is required:

  • Budapest Municipality

  • and the relevant district municipality (e.g. Budapest District XI)


How to open the authorization form?

1. Log in to the E-Municipality portal (E-önkormányzat)

  • Open the website: https://ohp-20.asp.lgov.hu/

  • Click: „Ügyintézés bejelentkezéssel” (Administration with login)

  • Log in as the managing director of the company using your Ügyfélkapu credentials.

2. First login: selecting the municipality

If this is your first time using the E-Municipality portal, follow the steps below.

  • On the left side click the blue: „Önkormányzatkereső" (Municipality Search)

  • Enter the city or district name (for example “Dombóvár” or “Budapest District XIII”).

  • Select it from the list, then click: „Kiválaszt” (Select)

  • Accept the Terms and Conditions (Általános Szerződési Feltételeket)

At the top of the left-side menu, you can always see which municipality is selected — make sure the correct one is displayed.

3. Change role: acting on behalf of the company

  • On the left side click: Szerepkörváltás” (Role Change)

  • From the role dropdown menu select: „Cég nevében” (On behalf of company)

  • Enter the company tax number.

If the confirmation message appears, you are authorized to manage cases on behalf of the company.
