One lookup, not one portal per source
Svenska kommuner is one of 37 vendors. The data sits on the property alongside registers, plans and risk data from the others.
Datavert · Sweden
Svenska kommuner, linked to every property.
Sweden is divided into 290 municipalities, and the municipalities, not a national agency, decide planning and building cases. Each municipality's building committee (byggnadsnämnd) handles and approves building permits (bygglov), and the municipal planning office (planeringskontor) prepares and adopts its own detailed development plans (detaljplaner) and comprehensive plans (översiktsplaner) under the Planning and Building Act (plan- och bygglagen).

What Svenska kommuner gives you
The data, and what it decides
There is no national case register that brings these decisions together. Each municipality keeps its own cases in its own system, and much of the content, from applications to decisions and illustrations, exists only as case documents in the municipality's own public records list. That is why Combify has to collect the data from each of the 290 municipalities separately: building permits from the building committees, detailed development plans with their documents from the planning offices, and land allocations (markanvisningar) from the land and development offices. The data covers more than 620,000 municipal cases, including more than 500,000 building permits and nearly 120,000 detailed development plans, built on more than 100 terabytes of case documents (see Placepoint in numbers).
In Norway, the municipalities are also responsible: both countries handle planning and building cases at municipal level, and neither has a national case register that collects the decisions themselves. The difference is what exists outside the municipality. In Norway, Kartverket publishes nationwide copies of municipal zoning plans, municipal plans and building data through geosynchronisation, so one source covers every municipality in the country. Sweden has no such national copy of planning data. Because there is no single source, Combify has to build its coverage of all 290 municipalities one municipality at a time, rather than fetching it from one place.

How to get started
Four steps
Book a demo or create an account
We show you the data on properties you know.
Look up an address
Use an address, cadastre number or the map. The panel shows what is registered on the property.
Turn on the map layers you need
The layers from this source are in the layer picker, sorted by category.
Get the data via API or MCP
The Placepoint API and the MCP server give you the same data programmatically.
How up to date is the data from Svenska kommuner?
The table above shows how often each dataset is updated, which follows the source. Every field in Placepoint shows its source and date.
Can we use the Svenska kommuner data in our own systems?
Yes. The Placepoint API exposes the same datasets programmatically, and the MCP server makes them available to AI agents. You can export extracts and reports from the platform.
Does it cost extra?
The datasets are part of your Placepoint subscription. Where the source charges a fee for individual documents, such as registered documents from Kartverket, the price follows the source's fee.
Are we missing a source you use?
Tell us at support@placepoint.no. We add sources all the time, often because a customer asked for one we did not have.

What customers say
What they do with Placepoint
“Placepoint is our main platform for property information. In practice, we only use Placepoint now.”
Petter CedellGroup Director of Property Investments, Selvaag Bolig“We see a clear efficiency gain with Placepoint, as much of the information we need on ownership, ownership structures, zoning purposes and encumbrances is gathered in one place. Several of us in the organisation use the tool daily and get a lot out of it.”
Kristian AkslandPartner, CMS Kluge“We use Placepoint daily for credit work. Among other things, we can identify ownership concentration in business parks.”
Lars Kristian TveterSenior Relationship Manager, Danske Bank“We have 25 salespeople using Placepoint every day to generate leads and find tenants.”
Henning BjørnsgårdHead of Sales and Development, EIR“We make active use of Placepoint in our nature-risk mapping. The data is an important part of what we base our decisions on.”
Anne Cecilie OterkjærHead of Nature and Environment, OBOS“Placepoint is simply our most important tool. It gives us instant access to site data, zoning and market insight that used to take days to dig up. When we assess new projects, Placepoint is the first thing we open.”

Camilla FredriksenHead of Diplom-Is-bilen Norge, Diplom-Is“Intuitive, clear, quick response.”
Tom Espen EideHead of Commercial Property, Skanska“The best thing is the amount of information in one place, and the 3D view of the site with its surroundings and outlook.”
