Electronic services
Building control has an electronic transaction service for applying for construction-related permits and for transactions during construction.
The right to build is determined in urban planning areas according to the efficiency number of the plot indicated in the urban planning.
The general plans may also contain regulations on the amount of building rights. If there is no entry in the general plan about the right to build on the building site marked in the general plan, the right to build in the general plan is determined in a sparsely populated area in accordance with the provisions of the building code.
Building right inquiries will possibly be discussed at the weekly meeting of building supervision and land use, the matter will be announced after the discussion.
Inquiries are addressed directly to building inspectors, preferably by email.
