Planning, building and living

The role of the County Administrative Board is to coordinate and make use of state interests in societal planning. We do this by reviewing plans, participating in consultations, and providing data for the municipality's housing planning, among other things. We also provide advice and support for the supervisory work within the building board and manage grants for building and renovating housing.

Residence grants

Apply for grants as a private person to make your house more energy efficient, or to build or renovate homes as an organization.

Plan areas

The County Administrative Board is involved in the municipality's processes for drawing up detailed plans, overview plans and area regulations. Our role is to protect public and state interests. We do this by reviewing plans and participating in consultations, among other things.
