Hørsholm Kommune

What Hørsholm Kommune does

Hørsholm Kommune is a Danish municipal government entity headquartered at Slotsmarken 13, 2970 Hørsholm in the Capital Region of Denmark, serving approximately 25,000 residents with a workforce of 620 employees organized into eight centers (six professional service centers and two staff centers). The municipality delivers the full statutory range of local public services — citizen administration (Borgerservice), passports, driver's licenses, ID cards, family and childcare, elderly care, social and health services, housing, construction, roads, culture and leisure, municipal dental care for ages 0–18, and emergency preparedness — through a hybrid digital-and-physical distribution model. Its current leadership includes Jan Dehn as Acting Municipal Director and Director for Welfare and Culture, and Marie Guldborg as Director for City and Business.

The municipality's core digital infrastructure centers on horsholm.dk as the unified citizen portal, integrated with Mit Affald / Perfect Waste for waste management, Lokalebooking for facility reservations, FrontDesk Suite for appointment booking, Digital Post via borger.dk for secure correspondence, MitID for authentication, and MobilePay for payments. Dedicated sub-portals cover culture (Oplev Hørsholm), sports (Idrætsparken), and dental care. Recent platform additions include the Dott shared e-bike service launched February 2026 as a pilot in cooperation with Region Hovedstaden, and the Perfect Waste mobile app replacing legacy SMS notifications from April 2026. Utility services are routed through partner providers: Novafos (water/wastewater), Andel Energi (electricity), Evida (gas), and Norfors (district heating and dangerous waste).

Revenue is derived primarily from municipal income tax (kommuneskat) levied on residents and businesses, supplemented by block grants and purpose-specific subsidies from the Danish central government, and modest transactional service fees (e.g., 150 kr for ID cards, 179–891 kr for passports depending on age). Annual budget figures are not publicly disclosed. The municipality is governed by an elected Kommunalbestyrelsen (Municipal Council) and operates under Danish municipal law with no parent company, subsidiaries, or private shareholders.
