Requests for permits and reservations can be made to municipal authorities responsible for the construction and maintenance of streets and green areas.

Apply for the permit via the city’s online permit service.

If a trader has established their business in another country within the European Economic Area and intends to provide their services temporarily in Finland, the trader is subject to the same obligations as all other traders established in Finland.

All use of public areas in Rovaniemi requires a valid city permit. A fee is charged based on the current price list.

Fees may be charged for the permits. The permit holder must provide compensation for any damage to the areas covered by the permit.

The compensation for any unauthorised use of public areas can be up to four times the normal fee.

The price list is available on the city website and in the online permit service.

Permits for using streets and green areas for exceptional purposes must be sought from the municipality. A permit must be sought for such purposes as cultural events.

If you need to lease a street or green area due to, for example, nearby construction work, you must post a worksite board that details the party performing the work and the contact details of the person responsible for the work.
