Build a house in Bengtsfors Municipality

Bengtsfors offers house plots in several communities. If you want a municipal plot, the date of your expression of interest matters for the order of offers. Do not choose a house from the plot listing alone: first check the plan for that locality and how the exact property can access water, wastewater services and a road.Available plots in BengtsforsAdopted detailed plansConnecting to public water and wastewater

The municipality groups its adopted detailed plans by community, including Bengtsfors, Billingsfors, Bäckefors and Dals Långed. Open the document for the actual property and check what the official plan map allows before deciding the house size or position. Land outside a detailed plan may need a different assessment, so contact the municipal planning team early.Building, land and demolition permitsAdopted detailed plans

For a new house on an undeveloped plot outside a detailed plan, Bengtsfors allows an advance decision. This gives an early assessment of whether the location may be suitable before you prepare a full permit application. A positive advance decision is not a building permit. Also check whether a location near a lake or the canal brings extra conditions for the chosen plot.Building, land and demolition permitsFacts about Bengtsfors

Bengtsfors Energi handles connections to the public water and wastewater system. You need to notify the company that you want to connect. If the property is eligible, the company agrees the connection point with you. First confirm that public service covers the property; a nearby pipe alone does not guarantee a connection.Connecting to public water and wastewater

Bengtsfors distinguishes between a full and a simplified new-build map depending on the location and project. Once you have the map, draw the house and show distances to plot boundaries and relevant ground levels. Ask the permit officer which map your application needs before ordering it or fixing the house position.Site plan and map documents

Bengtsfors has many lakes, and Dalsland Canal runs through several communities. Daily life in Bengtsfors town can therefore differ from life in Bäckefors or Dals Långed.
