Online services
All building permits must be applied for via the Lupapiste service.
Notifications regarding tree felling must be submitted via an online form.
Here is a brief guide to applying for a permit online:
- When registering with the Lupapiste.fi service for the first time, you will need to use your online banking credentials or a mobile certificate; you will then be asked to create a password for future use. If you do not have an email address or online banking credentials, please contact the building control department.
- In the service, you first select the property you wish to build on and then the type of work you wish to carry out. You can change or correct these later if you are unsure what to choose.
- All property owners must sign the application, or the applicant must have a power of atto ey from the other owners. If there are several applicants, one of them should submit the application first and then invite the others to join as parties to the licence; in other words, each applicant does not need to submit a separate application.
- Project designers and site supervisors must also log in to the application.
- All plans and other attachments are saved in PDF or data model format.
- The permit portal features a chat window where you can ask the building control department for advice.
- If necessary, you may submit an incomplete application. You can provide the missing information at a later date.
- The application will only appear in the building control system once it has been submitted or a message has been sent to the authority via the chat window.
The Building Control Department provides advice and guidance on all matters relating to online services.
