A community or a joint property unit is in most of the cases administered by a community association. Lantmäteriet is the agency who registers community associations and issues registrations numbers for community associations.
What is a community association?
The purpose of a community association is to administer and manage joint areas and facilities. When Lantmäteriet has formed a joint property unit a community association can also be formed.
The community association is a legal entity. The members of the association are the property owners of the properties who have a share in the community. Through the community association decisions are made about how the community shall be managed. Therefore, the management functions even if not all agree.
Lantmäteriet has a special register of the community associations. The register contains information about the association and its organization such as the makeup of the board and signatories.
Part-owner management
A community can also be administered through part-owner management. It may function for communities with few properties and where the cost for operations and management are low. In a part-owner management all the members must agree on all the decisions.
If the part-owners do not agree Lantmäteriet can help them by holding a part-owner meeting. The fee for a part-owner meeting is 900 SEK per hour and the total is calculated based on the time spent helping you. You do not pay value added tax (moms).
