Lohjan Kaupunki

What Lohjan Kaupunki does

Lohjan Kaupunki (City of Lohja) is a publicly governed Finnish municipality located in the Uusimaa region, approximately 30 minutes by road from the Helsinki metropolitan area. It delivers statutory municipal services — early childhood education, basic and secondary education, culture, sports, urban planning, environmental protection, technical infrastructure, employment services, and citizen administration — to roughly 45,000–50,000 residents and local businesses. Following Finland's national welfare reform effective January 1, 2023, the city transferred organization of social and healthcare services (and rescue services) to Länsi-Uudenmaan Hyvinvointialue, a regional wellbeing services county covering ten municipalities; Lohja remains a participating municipality in that entity.

The municipality's core digital product is the lohja.fi portal, which links into several integrated platforms: eAsiointi for electronic service applications, Wilma for school communication, Lupapiste for building and permit processing, Finna for library services, Enkora-powered Lohjan verkkokauppa for reservations and payments, and Kuntarekry for recruitment. rek.ai is deployed for GDPR-compliant, anonymous visitor-statistics-driven page suggestions. Operational delivery is supported by a wholly-owned subsidiary, Lohjan Liikuntakeskus Oy, which manages over 200 city-owned sports facilities (out of approximately 260 total), and by in-house cultural subsidiaries including Lohjan Teatteri, Lohjan Kaupunginorkesteri, and Lohjan Museo. Physical service points include the City Hall Monkola customer service center at Karstuntie 4, schools, daycares, libraries, the Neidonkeidas swimming hall, and the Laurentius-sali event venue.

Revenue is generated primarily through municipal taxation (income and property taxes), state funding and subsidies, and usage-based service fees for waste, water, building permits, early childhood education, fishing permits (€12.10–€23.15), and cultural services. The customer base is the full resident and business population of the jurisdiction, served on a non-discretionary, tax-funded basis with no commercial churn mechanism. The city operates as a public-sector monopoly under Finnish municipal law, governed by an elected city council (kaupunginvaltuusto) with administrative leadership from a city manager (kaupunginjohtaja).

Core offering

Lohjan Kaupunki is a Finnish municipal government that delivers public administration and resident services across early childhood education, basic and upper secondary schooling, housing and urban planning, environmental and water services, culture (museum, theater, orchestra, library), sports and recreation, employment and business support, and citizen participation. Since January 2023, social and healthcare services have been transferred to the regional Länsi-Uudenmaan Hyvinvointialue, while the city retains cultural, educational, recreational, environmental, and administrative functions for approximately 45,000-50,000 residents in the Uusimaa region.

Product overview

Lohjan Kaupunki operates primarily as a municipal services provider rather than a product company. Its main digital product is the lohja.fi web portal, a unified platform providing access to all city services across six departments: early childhood education and teaching, housing and environment, culture and recreation, employment and enterprise, and city administration. The portal links to several specialized sub-services and platforms including eAsiointi (electronic services for childcare), the Koulu Personal Trainer fitness guidance program, the Neidonkeidas swimming hall, and the Lohjan Liikuntakeskus Oy sports facility management company. The city also integrates with several cross-municipal Finnish digital infrastructure platforms including Wilma (education), Finna (library), and Enkora (reservations and payments), as well as the national Lupapiste permit service.
