Build a house in Solna Municipality

Solna is a dense city with different neighbourhoods and large protected green areas. Its adopted strategic plan guides development to 2030; a new 2050 plan is being prepared. Neither grants a building permit for a particular plot. For a new home, first read the property's detailed plan in force in Solnakartan and check whether cultural or nature protection affects the project.Strategic plan

Solnakartan shows the detailed plan that applies to the property you are considering. Read its plan map and explanation, rather than relying on a nearby development proposal. Rules differ between Solna blocks and can affect a building's use, size and position. Ask the city for help if it is unclear which plan or documents govern the plot.Detailed plans in force

A new home needs a permit from Solna's building board. The application is checked against the detailed plan and the site's suitability; outside a planned area, the board assesses the location separately. The city explains which drawings and other documents to submit. A permit decision alone is not clearance to start work: wait for the start notice.Building permits

To connect a new home to Solna's public water and wastewater system, send a service notification to Solna Vatten. The company identifies the connection point between the public network and your own pipes. The property owner is responsible for pipes on the plot. Check the connection point and technical conditions before fixing the house position and ground works; a neighbour's arrangement may not apply to your property.Water and wastewater connections

Solna offers four types of new-build map with different levels of detail, from fully surveyed maps to simpler bases. The project determines which one is needed. For a new home, the site plan must show its position on an acceptable map. Confirm the map type with the city before ordering, particularly where plan boundaries, ground levels or water connections matter.New-build map

Solna combines dense urban areas with protected nature: Igelbäcken, Ulriksdal and Råstasjön reserves and parts of the Royal National City Park. The Igelbäcken reserve is in northern Solna and includes Överjärva farm and open landscapes. Check which parks, schools and travel routes suit daily life from a proposed address. Nature protection can also affect building on or near a particular site.Protected nature and reserves
