Land use planning
Land use planning determines how residential areas, workplaces, green areas and transport connections are located in the environment. A land use plan is used to guide construction and regional development. Land use planning is divided into several levels: a more general master plan guides more detailed local plans.
Land use
The municipality of Tuusula acquires land, transfers plots and enters into land use agreements. We also maintain a property register. This requires the preparation of plot divisions and the formation of properties. Land use is guided by land policy.
Arable land
The tender process for leasing agricultural land for the period 2026–2031 has begun. On this page, you will find information on how to participate in the tender process.
Parcelling and plot division plans
We carry out cadastral surveys, including parcelling, and make binding plot division plans in areas covered by detailed plans where binding plot division plan is required.
Building control and building permits
The municipal building control authority supervises construction and compliance with plans, as well as the built environment. It grants building permits, landscape work permits and demolition permits.
Other permits
The municipality grants permits for the use of public areas. We advise companies on the permits required for business activities.
