An apartment association can apply for a grant for increasing apartment building energy efficiency and for improving the facade.
The grant can cover up to 10% of the cost of construction work. The maximum grant for one apartment building is 20,000 euros. It is also possible to apply for a 3,000 euro grant for creating a wall painting during the renovation if the design has been approved by the Tallinn City Government’s Urban Design Committee.

- the applicant has rebuilt the apartment building’s facade, roof or technical systems

To receive the grant, the application must be submitted within six months of submitting a notice of use or receiving authorisation of use.

Personal identification
Authorised person for application
The applicant’s right of representation must be legally valid, i.e. the validity of their board member authorisations must not have expired. The application must be submitted by the member of the board with valid board member rights.
PLEASE NOTE! Authorisations for board members of the apartment association are granted and extended by the apartment owners at a general meeting or without a meeting (if the statute allows). A Business Register entry does not grant board member rights. If the apartment owners have not extended a board member’s rights, then the information on the register card is invalid and the person whose board member authorisation has expired has a duty to make the necessary changes on the register card by submitting the respective application to the Business Register. The changes can also be made by a person with valid board member rights.
The application can be submitted:
- by a person with valid board member rights recorded on the register card of the apartment association registered at the Business Register
- by an authorised person who has submitted the corresponding authorisation to the Tallinn project and activity grant information system (see authorisation application guide)
- by a person who has been issued a power of attorney (a special regulation of the board office of the apartment association – a common right of representation or similar (see an example)
