Junction permit for a road

Apply for a permit primarily via the e-service. Log in using your personal bank ID, mobile certificate, or certificate card.

If it is not possible to use the e-service, apply using a printable form. Submit the application to the Economic Development Centre of Inland Finland by post or e-mail. Note that when applying using a printable form, a separate processing fee is charged in addition to the permit fee.

Fill in the application form carefully. Permit decisions are always issued for a specific junction, which means a separate application is required for each junction.

Checklist for applying for a junction permit

If the construction project requires a permit under the Building Act and the property is limited to a public road, the road authority is treated as a neighbor in the same way as other neighbors of the plot. You must also consult the local Economic Development Centre as a neighbor. Attach the statement you receive to your junction permit application.

Attachments

Before applying for the permit, obtain the following attachments:

• Evidence of the property’s building rights (building permit, local detailed plan, or other documentation). This can be obtained from the municipality.
• Map showing the junction location (1:20,000).
• Written consent from the landowner if the applicant is not the property owner. If there is a road right established by the National Land Survey at the junction location, a certificate of the road right is required instead of landowner consent.
• Extract from the municipality’s approved local detailed plan, master plan, or component plan, or the draft plan if applicable.
• Statement of other possible ways to provide road access to the property, e.g., easement road.
• Site plan or other plan showing the exact location of the junction on the property.

Mark the planned location of the junction on the terrain with sticks. If you submit a supplement to your application later, email it to: liittymat(at)elinvoimakeskus.fi. In the subject line, include the application’s service ID, file number, or the applicant’s name, municipality, and road number.

The junction permit itself is generally valid until further notice. The building permit for the junction is valid for two years. The junction must be constructed within this time.

Sometimes only a temporary permit can be granted. A temporary junction permit is generally valid for up to two years.
