Frequently asked questions

From 1 August 2026, a building with a footprint area of up to 20 m² and a height of up to 5 m needs neither a building notice nor a building permit. Planning, fire safety and distance requirements must still be followed.

You may start building if, within 10 days of submission, the municipality has not notified you of the need for an additional check or set any requirements. If there is an additional check, processing may take longer. A building notice is valid for 4 years.

Ancillary building and sauna kit (19 €) is for a sauna, garage or shed of up to 60 m²: action plan, Excel checklist and 2 Word templates. Building notice kit (29 €) is for those still planning to build or extend: guide, 13 templates and a 120-point checklist. Notice of use and legalisation kit (39 €) is for a dwelling and more complex situations: guide, 7 fillable Word templates, a 100-point checklist and a cheat sheet on surveys and audits. Dry hydrant and firefighting water point kit (29 €) is for when the municipality asks for a firefighting water point: 6 standard drawings, 2 fillable design explanatory notes and an EHR guide.

No. They help you understand the process, prepare the documents and avoid common mistakes. The building design, surveys and audits are done by a qualified specialist, and for complex legal questions it is worth consulting a lawyer.

The main focus is the building notice, but the guide explains when you need a building permit and design conditions. The kit also includes templates for these applications.

From 1 August 2026, a building built before 22.07.1995 is considered lawful without a safety audit, and the 500-euro state fee for legalisation has been abolished. You need to prove the construction date (e.g. with a historical orthophoto) and submit a data submission notice in the EHR. The exact route depends on the construction date – the legalisation kit explains this.

All kits follow the version of the Building Code and its annexes that entered into force on 1 August 2026. Before submitting, we recommend checking the current text in Riigi Teataja and your municipality's building regulation.
