Private roads

Private road maintenance, i.e. repair and upkeep, is the responsibility of the road owners. We assist organised road maintenance associations with their road maintenance annually within the limits of the budget allocated for this purpose.

Up-to-date information and comprehensive advice on private roads is available from the Finnish Road Association. The association’s website includes national helpline numbers for private road matters.

There are options for appealing decisions made by road association meetings or their bodies. You can read more about these in the Private Roads Act. Chapter 5, sections 64 and 65, deal with appeals against decisions made by road associations, administrators or management committees.

Road associations must maintain their contact details in the national private road register, which is administered by the National Land Survey of Finland. Private road associations or road shareholders must report information about their road network to the national Digiroad service, which is administered by the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency. In addition, road associations must report certain decisions they have made to the National Land Survey of Finland. The decisions will only take effect once the National Land Survey of Finland has registered them in the real estate information system.

Private road procedures conce ing new private roads or the widening or relocation of existing roads are carried out by the National Land Survey of Finland.

Private road subsidies

The municipality of Tuusula provides annual assistance for the maintenance of private roads maintained by organised private road associations in Tuusula, within the limits of the budget allocated for this purpose. In 2026, EUR 50,000 has been allocated in the budget for private road subsidies.

Private road subsidies can be applied for during the application period via the digital service channel.

If necessary, you can use the customer service computer at TuusInfo to fill in the application. TuusInfo staff can help you use the computer and fill in the application.

The municipality can only assist organised road maintenance associations. Decisions on private road maintenance subsidies are made by the technical committee, and subsidies are paid by the end of June of the current year. Late applications will not be considered.  

The road association can only submit a grant application if its contact details are up to date in the National Land Survey’s private road register. In addition, the information on the road network must be up to date in the national road and street network information system, i.e. the Digiroad service. Information on updating the information can be found above on this page. If the road association’s right-of-use unit ID (in the national real estate information system) is not known, it can be obtained from the National Land Survey of Finland.

If the road association’s billing or payment details change, the changes must be reported immediately to tiemestari@tuusula.fi and entered in the National Land Survey’s private road register.

Tuusula municipality as a road owner

If the municipality of Tuusula is a road shareholder, send the payment to the municipality’s general billing address. The subscriber reference 1830295 must be added to the invoice details so that the invoice is processed correctly.

The municipality of Tuusula is represented in its role as a road owner by the land use manager, who is responsible for the municipality’s land assets. Contacts and, for example, meeting invitations conce ing the municipality as a road owner can be addressed to the land use unit or, if necessary, directly to the land surveyor or delivery engineer.
