Arendusviise

Arendusviise is a term that appears in Estonian real estate and urban planning contexts. It generally translates to "development contribution" or "development fee." This concept refers to a payment or charge levied by a municipality or local government on developers. The purpose of this fee is typically to help offset the costs associated with the increased demand for public infrastructure and services that arise from new development projects.

These costs can include the expansion or upgrade of roads, public transportation, sewage systems, water supply, schools, and parks. By requiring developers to contribute to these infrastructure improvements, municipalities aim to ensure that new projects do not unduly burden existing residents and taxpayers. The specific amount of an arendusviis can vary significantly depending on the size and type of development, the location, and the local government's policies and regulations.

The implementation and calculation of arendusviis fees are often part of the municipal planning and zoning processes. Developers may be required to pay the fee before receiving building permits or as a condition of project approval. The revenue generated from arendusviise is then typically reinvested in public infrastructure projects that benefit the community, including both new and existing residents. The exact legal framework and application of arendusviis can be found within Estonian local government and planning legislation.
