What Kohila vald does

Kohila vald is a local government municipality (kohaliku omavalitsuse üksus) in Rapla County, Estonia, providing public administrative services to approximately 7,936 residents across a 230.2 km² territory encompassing one town (Kohila), three small towns (Aespa, Hageri, Prillimäe), and 21 villages. The municipality's legal entity, Kohila Vallavalitsus (registration code 75018851), operates from its headquarters at Vabaduse 1, Kohila, and is governed by an elected municipal council (vallavolikogu) under a mayor (vallavanem). Its current mayor is Allar Haljasorg, who assumed the role in 2025 succeeding Margus Miller.

The municipality delivers a full portfolio of public services including administration and governance, social welfare and healthcare coordination, education (Kohila Gümnaasium and multiple schools and kindergartens), cultural and sports facilities (Kohila Spordikeskus, Kohila Kunstide Kool, Hageri Museum, libraries, community centers), environmental services (waste collection, water management, dam operations), transportation infrastructure, and emergency services coordination. It operates approximately ten institutional branches including schools, kindergartens, sports and arts centers, libraries, museums, and community centers. Distribution is direct via the municipal government office, e-services and online forms (including the ARNO school services platform), and physical service points in villages.

Kohila vald is funded through three principal revenue streams: municipal taxes collected from residents and businesses within its boundaries, state allocations from the Estonian government for state-mandated administrative functions, and service fees for municipal services such as waste collection and permits. Waste collection fees effective July 1, 2026 are structured by container size, ranging from €1.74 to €156.63, while biodegradable and packaging waste collection is free. The municipality maintains partnerships for regional development with RAEK (Raplamaa Arendus- ja Ettevõtluskeskus), inter-municipal cooperation with neighboring Saku vald, and twin-town relationships with five municipalities across Finland, Latvia, Italy, and Moldova.
