Kanepi Vallavalitsus (Kanepi Municipal Government) is a local government entity (kohaliku omavalitsuse üksus) administering public services for the residents of Kanepi municipality in Põlva County, Estonia. The current municipality was formed on 21 October 2017 through the merger of Kanepi, Kõlleste, and Valgjärve parishes under government decree No. 36 (26 January 2017), consolidating governance across 524.49 km² covering 48 villages and 1 small town (Kanepi alevik) with a population of 4,639.

The municipality's service portfolio spans administrative functions (population registration, document registry via the Delta system hosted at Novian), education and youth services, social welfare (family support, elderly care, disability services, home care, social transport), infrastructure (roads, water/sewage, planning, construction permits), cultural programming (Kanepi Teataja newspaper, libraries, community events), and environmental management. Digital services include the Anna Teada mobile application for citizen issue reporting and a public interactive budget visualization dashboard. A 12-year water supply and sewage system development plan (2024–2035) is being executed in collaboration with AS Võru Vesi.

The entity is led by a 17-member directly elected municipal council (Vallavolikogu) and an executive municipal government (Vallavalitsus) headed by Vallavanem (Mayor) Helen Rebane. Operating departments include social affairs (Terje Lihtsa), economic affairs (Rain Sangernebo), and finance (Kaida Vool), with 25.5 total positions. Revenue is generated through local land tax, state income tax allocations, service fees (kindergarten, waste management, permits), and EU/state grants — there is no commercial monetization or investment return model.
