County Administrative Board
Welcome to the County Administrative Board
Sweden consists of 21 counties and each county has a County Administrative Board. We work to promote sustainable development in the counties and conduct a diverse range of activities that span virtually all areas of society.
Society
Business licences and permits
As an entrepreneur, you need a permit from the County Administrative Board to conduct certain activities. For example, if you have a security company or want to arrange combat sports matches.
Animals
Owning, caring for, exhibiting or treating animals
The County Administrative Board oversees animal welfare and animal transport. We issue permits for various animal-related activities and support animal healthcare professionals.
Nature and rural areas
Protected nature
The County Administrative Board is usually responsible for managing protected nature, such as national reserves and national parks. You can read all about different types of protected nature here.
