You who have a one- or two-dwelling house may, in addition to a shed of a maximum of 15 m2, also build attefallshus without a building permit. Before you start building, you must make a report to the building committee and receive a start notice.
Attefallshus may be built in the immediate vicinity of the residential building. The highest height from ground to ridge may be 4.0 meters. The house can be used either as an independent home (ancillary housing) or as, for example, storage, guest house, greenhouse or garage (ancillary building).
You can build several attefallshus, but all attefallshus that you have built on the plot may not exceed 30 m2 together.
If you build attefallshus closer to the border than 4.5 meters, the consent of the neighbors concerned is required for you to be able to build the attefallshuset without a building permit. . In that case, it is an ancillary residential building. It is also possible to use the attefall house as an ancillary building, ie as an outbuilding, garage, storage room, greenhouse, guest house, sauna or boathouse.
An attefall house must, among other things, follow the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's building regulations, BBR and the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's construction rules, EKS. The rules are different depending on what an attefall house is to be used for. For example, an attefall house that is to be used for permanent residence must have all the housing functions that are to be found in a dwelling. There are, for example, spaces for cooking and personal hygiene and the opportunity to store things. Attefallshus that are to be used for permanent residence must also be accessible and useful for people with reduced mobility or orientation. For attefallshus to be used as holiday homes, there are certain exceptions to the requirements.

To find out if you need a building permit for the measure you are planning, you should contact the building committee in the municipality where the property is located or an official in the administration that reports to the building committee. If they think you may need a building permit, you can go ahead and make an application. The board shall give you guidance and advice to a reasonable extent.
It is with the building committee in the municipality that you apply for a building permit. The application must be in writing and contain the information, drawings and other documents that the municipality needs to be able to process the application and make a decision. In order for you to be able to make a decision quickly, it is important that the documents are correct and clear. Forms for how to apply for a building permit are available from your municipality. In some municipalities, you can now apply for a building permit via an e-service.
In the application, you must usually state a proposal for who should be responsible for control, KA. The control manager must help to ensure that the requirements of the building legislation are met and must, among other things, help you to draw up proposals for a control plan, ensure that the control plan is followed and that the necessary controls are carried out. A control plan is a plan for the control of a construction or demolition measure, often designed as a kind of checklist. It must state, among other things, which inspections are to be carried out, what the inspections are to refer to and who is to carry out the inspections. Information about the supervisor is already needed in the permit application because the building committee is obliged to decide who is to be the supervisor when they decide on the permit.
As soon as possible after your application has been received by the building committee, they must make an initial review of the matter. They then check whether the measure really requires a building permit. At the first examination, it is also checked whether the application is complete, ie whether all the necessary documents are included. The quality and clarity of the drawings are also assessed.
If the application is incomplete, the building committee may order you as an applicant to supplement the application with what is missing within a certain time. The fact that an application is incomplete may mean that it completely lacks any information or drawing required for the examination. But it may also be the case that the drawings are not detailed enough or of sufficiently good quality.
When your application has been submitted to the building committee, the committee must send written information to you as soon as possible. The written information must contain information about, among other things, how long it may take before a decision is made, that the fee the board may charge is reduced if the deadline for decisions is exceeded and the opportunity to appeal the decision.
When you apply for a building permit, the building committee examines whether any detailed plan or area regulations allow you to build what you have applied for. The Building Board also examines, among other things, whether the building is suitable for its purpose, whether it has a good form, color and material effect and whether it is accessible and useful for people with reduced mobility or orientation.
If your measure is outside the detailed plan or area regulations, the building committee will test whether the site is suitable for what you want to build.
You must receive the building permit decision no later than 10 weeks after the day when the application was received by the building committee or the day you submitted additional documentation to the building committee. If the building committee submits a supplement within three weeks from one of those days, the 10 weeks are instead counted from the day you have completed your application. If the building committee needs more time to investigate your case, it may take longer, but not more than 20 weeks in total.
The building committee must in certain cases notify stakeholders, such as neighbors, who are affected by the application and give them an opportunity to comment.
If the measure meets all the requirements, the building committee may decide to grant a building permit. If the requirements are not met, the building committee must reject your application.
Once you have received your building permit, your neighbors and others who may be affected should find out. The Building Board therefore announces the decision in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar. The board also sends out information about the building permit to your neighbors and others concerned, either by notifying them or by receiving a notice. Those who have been notified have had three weeks to appeal. Those who are not to be notified have four weeks to appeal from the time the decision is announced. If no one appeals, the building permit decision becomes final. This means that the decision can no longer be appealed.
If the building committee rejects your application for a building permit, you can appeal the decision to the county administrative board. The County Administrative Board can then choose to change the municipality's decision or to reject your appeal.
Your building permit expires if you have not started the construction work within 2 years, or if you have not completed the construction work within 5 years, calculated from the day when the decision became final.
You may not start construction until you have received a start notice from the building committee. Even if you have been notified of the start, you may not start until at least 4 weeks after the decision has been announced in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar. It is therefore not enough to just have a building permit granted.
When the building committee has granted your building permit, the committee usually holds a technical consultation. Then you go through how to plan and organize the work, the proposed control plan and the documents in general. The Building Board holds technical consultations on:
a technical consultation is not manifestly unnecessary, or
you as the client have requested a technical consultation.
If no technical consultation is required, the building committee must give you a start notice already when you receive the decision on the building permit, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Once you have received your start notice, you can, 4 weeks after the decision on the building permit has been announced in Post- och Inrikes Tidningar, start the measures for which you have received the building permit. If you start the measure without a start notice, you may have to pay a building sanction fee.
In order to receive a start notice, you must show the building committee that the measure you are planning can be assumed to meet the requirements of the Planning and Building Act and its regulations.
In the start notice, the building committee approves the control plan.
Minst en gång under byggtiden ska någon från byggnadsnämnden besöka byggarbetsplatsen. Byggnadsnämnden för protokoll över besöket.
The building committee usually holds a final consultation when the project is completed. This shall take place if a technical consultation has been held earlier during the project, and if it is not obvious that a final consultation is not needed.
The final consultation is usually held at the place where you carried out the operation. During the final consultation, you go through, among other things, that the control plan has been followed. The building committee also assesses whether they will be able to issue a final decision.
The building committee gives a final decision when you have shown that all requirements have been met and the committee has not found any reason to intervene. You must not start using what you have built until you have received a final decision. If you start using what you have built without a final notice, you may have to pay a building penalty fee.
You can receive a final decision even if minor deficiencies remain. In that case, the Building Board makes remarks about the deficiencies, which you may remedy later. In the case of a major deficiency, the board may issue a temporary final decision, so-called interim final decision, which is valid until you have rectified the deficiency or made a necessary inspection. When the deficiency has been remedied or the inspection has been made, the board finally examines the question of final decision.
If what you have built has too great shortcomings, the building committee must decide to refuse you a final decision.
