Building permits

Lilla Edet describes an advance decision for a new house on land without a detailed plan or subdivision. It checks the site's suitability before you pay for a complete house design. You then need a permit with drawings and map. Ask the municipality which decisions your plot needs and wait for the formal start notice before work begins.Building permits

Water & wastewater

Lilla Edet lists public water services in places including Lilla Edet, Göta, Lödöse, Nygård, Hjärtum and Utby. Even within a locality, the water team must check the individual property and whether it can connect. Contact them early about the process and connection point. Outside the network, investigate a private well and wastewater before budgeting for the plot.Connecting to the public water network
