Molde kommune

What Molde kommune does

Molde kommune is a public Norwegian municipality (organization number 921 221 967) headquartered at Rådhusplassen 1, Molde, serving the residents and businesses of Møre og Romsdal county. The municipality was chartered in 1742 and formally constituted under the 1837 municipal reforms; its territory expanded through the 2020 merger with Midsund and the 2024 merger with Nesset, yielding a population of roughly 31,000–32,000 across Molde, Midsund, and Eidsvåg service centers. It delivers the full slate of statutory municipal services — kindergarten, primary schooling and SFO, healthcare and eldercare, water and sewage, waste management, building permits and land-use planning, fire safety and chimney sweeping, social services, refugee integration, culture, libraries, and sports facilities — through physical offices, a "Min side" digital self-service portal, the Helsa Mi health app, and home-based delivery.

The organization operates through a centralized kommunedirektør administration led by Marianne Stokkereit Aasen and wholly-owned municipal enterprises (KF) including Molde eiendom KF (property management, now under Ingunn Mathisen) and Molde vann og avløp KF (water and sewage, producing 4 million cubic meters annually). Its technology platform combines third-party systems — Helseplattformen shared EHR (of which Molde is co-owner), Visma Flyt Skole for school administration, Visma Enterprise for back-office, ACOS portal and forms, Google Analytics, and Sikker digital post — with proprietary technology such as Moldeprosessen, a single-step alkalization and color-removal water treatment method co-developed with Asplan Viak in the 1990s and now adopted by Ålesund, Bergen, Hamar, Asker & Bærum, and Oslo.

Funding comes from municipal income and property taxes, Norwegian state block grants (rammetilskudd), EU funding (e.g., Erasmus+), inter-municipal development grants (GassROR IKS, which committed NOK 21.9 million in 2023), and transactional fees for permits, water/sewage connections, waste, and parking. Service delivery is supplemented by partnerships with Helseplattformen AS, NAV Hjelpemiddelsentral, Høgskolen i Molde, SiMolde, Møre og Romsdal fylkeskommune, Røde Kors, and the Smart Molde program, while wholly-owned KF subsidiaries execute operational mandates and capital projects such as Årølia skole, Lillekollen barnehage, the Bergmo health arena, the Sjøfronten waterfront, and a six-site EV charging rollout across care centers.
