Frequently asked questions about associations
A tenant-owner association must be registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. You can to that in the service here at verksamt.se. If you're not able to use that, there is a paper form available.
The tenant-owner association is always represented by the board. The board can also, for practical reasons, appoint special signatories who have the right to represent the association. These may, but do not have to, be members of the board.
You register an economic association with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. Bear in mind that you must have the regulations and protocol of the association done before you can register your economic association through the service here at verksamt.se. If you are not able to use the service, there is a paper form available.
When the association is registered and has received its registration number, you can apply for F-tax, VAT and as a employer with the Swedish Tax Agency. That service is also available here.
The board always represents the association. If there is a managing director, he represents the association in matters concerning the day-to-day operation. For practical reasons, the board may also appoint special signatories who are entitled to represent the association. These may, but do not have to be, members of the board.
A community association is a legal entity, whose members own the properties that share a community or a community facility. Property owners with property that holds a share in a community, for example a jetty, are automatically members of the association.
A community association is formed to manage communities, for example community facilities. The majority of the association can decide on the administration. If a community association isn't formed, the community (facility) is managed by so called co-owner management, where all the decisions must be made unanimously by the co-owners.
A community association is formed at a meeting where the members enact statutes and appoint a board. The meeting shall, if one of the members demands so, be held by the land surveying authority or by someone that the authority has appointed.
