What Lääne-Nigula vald does

Lääne-Nigula vald is a municipal government entity (kohaliku omavalitsuse üksus) operating in Lääne County, Estonia. Formed in 2013 through the merger of Oru, Risti, and Taebla municipalities and expanded in 2017 with the addition of Kullamaa, Martna, Noarootsi, and Nõva, it is the third-largest municipality in Estonia by area at 1,448.8 km². It serves approximately 7,206 residents distributed across 115 villages, 3 small towns, and 8 sub-municipalities (osavallad), providing a comprehensive portfolio of public services through 41 managed institutions, including 8 kindergartens, 6 schools, 11 libraries, 8 youth centers, 2 care homes, and cultural and sports facilities.

The municipality operates under an elected 25-member council (Vallavolikogu) with Mayor Janno Randmaa and three deputy mayors overseeing functional and regional portfolios. It owns seven wholly-owned subsidiaries spanning property management (OÜ Lääne-Nigula Haldus), elderly care (OÜ Lääne-Nigula Hooldekodud), cultural halls (OÜ Oru Kultuurisaal), rental housing (OÜ Maali Üürimaja), primary healthcare (Lääne-Nigula Perearstikeskus OÜ), and water supply (AS Haapsalu Veevärk, AS Matsalu Veevärk), and participates in regional foundations supporting tourism and community development. Revenue derives from municipal land tax, state funding allocations, service fees (kindergarten, care, permits), and limited advertising revenue from its Vallaleht municipal newspaper.

Services are delivered through a central government office in Taebla, six sub-municipal offices across the territory, the institutional network, and digital channels including the official website, social media, monthly email newsletter, and the Vallaleht newspaper (circulation 3,631, published 6x/year). Citizen-facing applications for kindergarten placement, school enrollment, social support, and building permits are processed online. The municipality's motto is 'Tule meile, päriselt!' (Come to us, for real!).
