Instructions and fees

Construction and, for example, the extraction of soil requires a permit, in some cases a notification procedure is sufficient. The building inspector is Technical Director Anne Järvenranta.

The new Construction Act entered into force on 1 January 2025. At the same time, the construction regulations in the Land Use and Construction Act were repealed and the name of the remaining act was changed to the Land Use Act.
The Construction Act concerns the design, construction and use of buildings and construction sites. The Land Use Act provides for the design, construction and use of areas.

The new Construction Act will apply to permit applications submitted after January 1.1.2025, XNUMX.
The building permit, the action permit and the action notification have been replaced by a single permit form, the construction permit. Other permit types include the landscape work permit, the deviation permit, the demolition permit and the demolition notification.

A building permit is required when:
• residential building or leisure building, regardless of size
• a building with a floor area of ​​at least 30 m2 (not a residential building or a leisure building)
• a canopy of at least 50 m2 in size
• an audience structure that can be used by at least five people at a time
• a mast or chimney at least 30 m high
• an illuminated advertising device of at least 2 m2 in size
• energy well
• an area built for a specific activity that has an impact on the use of the surrounding areas (e.g. sports area, storage or parking area).

The extension is always subject to a permit. The landscape work permit, demolition permit and demolition notice remain unchanged. Some projects still require a deviation permit.

The permit threshold has been raised – the limits of permit requirements are defined in the Construction Act (Section 42 of the Construction Act).
• For example, a yard building of less than 30 m2 or a shed of less than 50 m2 generally does not require a building permit, but the construction must comply with the area's planning regulations and the municipality's building regulations.
• A substantial change in the purpose of use, repair of the building's features or significant repair of a protected/valuable building requires a building permit.

Although a construction project does not always require a building control permit, construction, planning and fire regulations must be followed. The above regulations set boundary conditions, for example, on distances, building rights, materials and appearance. Construction is only possible on a construction site that is specified in the plan or in a separate location permit decision.
