What Krødsherad kommune does

Krødsherad kommune is a public municipality in Viken county, Norway, headquartered at Ringnesveien 10, Noresund, providing statutory municipal services to permanent residents and holiday-home owners in a rural catchment around Lake Krøderen and the Norefjell ski resort area. Core service lines include kindergarten and school (barnehage og skole), health and care (helse og omsorg), planning, building and property (plan, bygg og eiendom), business and community development (næring og samfunn), culture/sports/leisure, infrastructure (roads, water, sewage, waste), and emergency preparedness. The workforce is reported in the 251–500 employee band. The operating budget is funded primarily through Norwegian state transfers, municipal taxation including property tax (eiendomsskatt), and user fees for water, sewage, waste management, building permits, and other services, with fees on selvkost services (e.g., water at NVA) set by the municipal council.

The digital service stack is built on third-party municipal technology: the Acos CMS powers the krodsherad.kommune.no website and digital forms portal (dialog.krodsherad.kommune.no), Sikri Elements provides document management and the political-meeting calendar, and Prokom supplies the Kommune-Kari chat robot for citizen inquiries. A dedicated 'Dialogue/KKO-33' feedback channel supports praise and criticism (ris og ros). The municipality wholly owns Norefjell Vann- og Avløpsselskap AS (NVA), an aksjeselskap that designs, builds, operates, and maintains water and sewage infrastructure in the Norefjell region at cost price to subscribers. Distribution spans the Servicetorget service center, telephone, the website portal, and live political-meeting broadcasts on KaukusTV. Partnerships include Hallingdal Renovasjon IKS (waste), Drammensregionens brannvesen IKS (fire), Norefjell Hyttesenter AS (Norehammeren infrastructure co-development, 2019), Norefjell Nett AS (grid), and Visit Norefjell (tourism promotion). Revenue is not directly disclosed; water fees for 2026 have been set to kr 0 due to accumulated self-cost fund.
