What Faaborg-Midtfyn Kommune does

Faaborg-Midtfyn Kommune is a Danish public municipality (kommune) headquartered in Ringe on the island of Funen, formed on January 1, 2007 through the Danish Municipal Reform by merging Faaborg, Ringe, and parts of Årslev municipalities. It serves a population of approximately 51,000+ residents across its geographic boundary with a workforce of 1,241 employees, delivering the full statutory portfolio of municipal services — including healthcare and elderly care, childcare and education, social services, waste and environmental management, road and bridge infrastructure (35 weight-restricted road bridges), planning and building permits, cultural programs, and citizen administration. The municipality is governed by an elected 27-member municipal council and a mayor, with primary offices in Ringe and a Borgerservice (citizen service) office in Faaborg.

Its digital infrastructure centres on the fmk.dk portal, organized into Borger, Erhverv, Politik, and Om kommunen sections, with WCAG++ accessibility compliance, secure MitID-authenticated digital post integration to Borger.dk and Virk.dk, and the "Giv et Praj" mobile citizen-issue-reporting application on iOS and Android. Operational technology includes the Conventus/Fritidsportalen booking system for sports halls and swimming pools, NEM Tilmeld for committee-chair appointment booking, livestreamed council meetings, and a multi-segment email newsletter platform. The municipality also coordinates a substantial recreational asset base: 14 self-governing sports halls, 2 sports centres with swimming pools, 4 library branches, cultural venues, and the Ø-færgen island ferry.

The revenue model is public-sector rather than commercial: funding flows from municipal income tax (kommuneskat), national block grants, and a modest user-fee base including parking licenses (1,000 DKK/yr), sports-hall and pool rentals (46.50-223 DKK/hr under the haltilskudsmodel), and free Kulturpas culture vouchers (1,000 DKK) for eligible youth. Service delivery operates through three customer segments — Citizens (primary), Businesses, and Tourists/Visitors — via a hybrid digital/physical channel mix. Strategic priorities in 2023-2026 include the Novo Nordisk Fonden-backed Outdoor FUN programme (~10M DKK, 2023-2027, targeting 3,200+ youth), hosting PostNord Danmark Rundt 2026 Stage 4, and ongoing partnership orchestration with Syddansk Universitet, Frivilligcenter, and cultural institutions.

Faaborg-Midtfyn Kommune is a Danish municipality (kommune) delivering statutory public services to its approximately 51,000 residents on the island of Funen. Its core offerings include citizen services (Borgerservice) such as passports and driver's licenses, welfare and elderly care, childcare and education, road and infrastructure maintenance, waste and environmental management, cultural and recreational programs, and business support services. The municipality operates a digital self-service portal (fmk.dk), the 'Giv et Praj' citizen issue-reporting mobile app, and integrates with national platforms Borger.dk and Virk.dk for secure digital communication.

Product overview

Faaborg-Midtfyn Kommune operates a unified citizen services portal (fmk.dk) that consolidates all municipal self-service offerings. The portal is organized into four main sections — Borger (citizen services), Erhverv (business services), Politik (political governance), and Om kommunen (organizational information) — supported by several supplementary modules. Key sub-products include Giv et praj, a citizen issue-reporting tool available as both a web form and a mobile app for iOS and Android; Elev i Faaborg-Midtfyn Kommune, the municipal apprenticeship program offering four vocational tracks; Udvalgstræffetider, a meeting booking system for informal sessions with committee chairpersons; and a Newsletter Subscription service enabling citizens to opt into topic-specific email updates.
