County administrative boards
The state's office in each of Sweden's counties, handling permits, nature, hunting and integration.
Länsstyrelsen
What it handles: the state's regional tasks, which vary by county: among them protected nature areas, some permits and supervision, and integration work such as grants for refugee guides and family contacts.
How to reach it: each county has its own pages and contact details at lansstyrelsen.se; choose your county first.
Where people get stuck: many everyday questions people bring to Länsstyrelsen belong with the municipality instead, such as building permits, schools and social services.
