Build a house in Munkedal Municipality

Munkedal offers plots and housing projects across a municipality that runs from the Bohuslän coast to woodland and higher ground. Start with the current municipal house plots, but do not choose a house from the listing alone. Check the detailed plan, access road and water and wastewater for the individual property.Municipality factsLiving in Munkedal

Munkedal lists adopted detailed plans and provides a map portal. Find the plan covering your property: it may limit how much land can be built on, the house height and its position. For a plot without a detailed plan, an advance decision can be a useful first step before paying for a full house design.Notice or building permitAdopted detailed plans

Munkedal says a new one- or two-family home needs a building permit both inside and outside a detailed-plan area. You also need a certified control manager. Outside a planned area, the municipality can first assess the site through an advance decision. Apply with the right map and drawings for the plot, and wait for the start notice before building.Notice or building permit

In Munkedal, municipally owned Västvatten operates the public water and wastewater network. Questions about private wells and wastewater systems go to Miljöenheten i mellersta Bohuslän instead. Check which arrangement applies to the plot and contact the right organisation early; a building permit and wastewater permission are separate decisions.Notice or building permitWater and wastewater

Munkedal's map portal helps you find adopted plans and municipal plots. A new-house application then needs the right site plan: within a detailed-plan area, the municipality requires a new-build map, while a simpler map may suffice outside a planned area. Ask the permit officer what applies before ordering or drawing.Notice or building permitMaps and geographic information

Munkedal, Dingle and Hällevadsholm have access to the E6 road and Bohusbanan railway, while other parts of the municipality reach Kynnefjäll or the inner Gullmarsfjord. Commuting and access to services therefore vary. Compare daily journeys from the plot you are considering, rather than its distance from the main town alone.Municipality facts
