Building and living in Sigtuna

Overview

Sigtuna municipality has different settings: Sigtuna town by Lake Mälaren, Märsta, Rosersberg and countryside. Its 2022 strategic plan shows long-term intentions for them but does not grant a permit for a particular plot. Check the detailed plan or area rules that apply to the property. Also ask early how water and wastewater will work; conditions differ between built-up areas and countryside.Strategic plan 2022

What can be built on the plot?

Planning & detailed development plans

Sigtuna's detailed-plan portal shows both plans in force and plans still being prepared. Select the property and read the applicable plan for land use, house position and height. A proposal in progress is not the same as a plan in force. For a plot outside a detailed plan, also check area rules and other site requirements.Detailed plans

Planning permission for a new home

Building permits

Sigtuna always requires a building permit for a new one- or two-home building, including outside detailed-plan areas. Its checklist calls for a site plan on a new-build map, ground and house drawings, and a certified control officer. Outside planned areas, approval for private wastewater may also be needed. Apply through the municipality and wait for a start notice before work begins.Build a one- or two-home building

Water and wastewater

Water & wastewater

Municipality-owned Sigtuna Vatten & Renhållning, SIVAB, manages the public water and wastewater network in its designated areas. To connect a property, apply to the company; it discusses the connection point with you if one does not exist. Parts of the countryside have no public service, so private water and wastewater need separate investigation. Check the plot before designing the house.Connect to water and wastewater

Maps and site plans

Maps & documents

Sigtuna's mapping unit prepares the new-build map used for the site plan. It shows property boundaries, existing buildings and ground levels; a full map also shows the public water connection point. The permit caseworker decides which version is needed, and the municipality gives a delivery time of up to three weeks. Order in time, after confirming the required map.Maps and surveying

Everyday life and nature

Living in Sigtuna

Steningedalen in Märsta is a municipal nature reserve along the Märstaån watercourse, with walking routes, ponds and allotments. It is one daily-life setting in a municipality that also includes Sigtuna town and Rosersberg. For a plot, check routes to the schools, stops and green places you expect to use from that address; municipal facilities are not equally close everywhere.Steningedalen nature reserve
