Moving in
Register your move with the national population register as usual. At the municipal office you get a welcome bag with a map, a library card, beach opening hours and a Johkula reflector donated by Visit Johkula. Once your move is registered, join the Residents collection and the ski bus is free and municipal venues are at resident prices.
Rental homes
Municipal rental homes are managed by the municipal property unit. Vacancies are listed here and you can apply online. The average wait in the village is about two months.
Road maintenance
Ploughing starts when 5 cm of snow has fallen. The municipality opens the ice road across Lake Johku when the ice is at least 40 cm thick.
