Finland: Chargeable services of ELY Centres, TE Offices and KEHA Centre in 2021

NordenBladet — On 30 December, the Government issued a Decree on chargeable services by the ELY Centres, TE Offices and KEHA Centre for 2021. The Decree lays down which services are chargeable, which services will be charged based on the cost price or a lower price, and which services will be priced on a commercial basis.

The content of the Decree corresponds to the Decree on chargeable services for 2019–2020, which is currently in force. Based on an amendment to the Act on the Protection of the Built Heritage, which will enter into force on 1 January 2021, one chargeable service was added to the Decree.

According to Section 10a of the Act, the ELY Centre may, at the request of the owner or holder of a building or property, and subject to the conditions set by the ELY Centre, grant permission to derogate from a decision on protection. The decision is a chargeable service, regardless of its outcome.

The Decree will enter into force on 1 January 2021 and remain in force until 31 December 2021.
