Hello. I am going to replace the roof on our house.
Is a building permit required to install green (or another color) roof tiles?

You should probably ask the municipality about that and preferably prepare with pictures of houses in the area with green or otherwise unusual roof color. Even if there is nothing explicit about roof color in the detailed plan, the municipality may have opinions on deviating styles. There are dummy clauses about it in PBL (plan and building law).
If you wait until December 1st, the building legislation changes, and you can change the color of the roof without a building permit. The proposal is to be decided in the parliament in October. What could stop this newfound freedom is if your house is part of a conservation-worthy area, considered culturally protected. For example, a homogeneously well-preserved 'miljonprogram' area with brown hues is sometimes considered conservation-worthy by professionals. The municipality can answer if they assess that this is the case. In that exceptional case, a building permit would be required.
How does it actually work, I have a house with 4 apartments and it has "always" been like that, but it is taxed as a one/two residential house.
If I build an Attefall after December 1st, then change the tax code a year later, what happens then?

If you have four apartments in the house, it is not a single or two-family house, so you cannot build an Attefall house. It would just be an illegal construction. The fact that you and perhaps previous owners have not provided the correct information during property declarations over many years does not change that. The tax authorities only know what you declare to them.nino said:
But it's taxed as 220 today, all the apartments have apartment numbers, and everyone living there is registered there. If I build an attefallshus and have 220, then it's fine, right?Claes Sörmland said:

From what I understood, if I change to 320, nothing happens with the attefallshus.
It may not be entirely correct, but it's strange that the tax authority hasn't said anything when it's been like this for at least 30 years.
The tax authority knows nothing more about your building than what you declare. It’s not as if an employee at the authority is sitting and pondering over your property and what is on it.nino said:

Then, it might not be entirely correct, but it’s strange that the tax authority hasn’t said anything when it has been like this for at least 30 years.
It's your responsibility.nino said:

It's not a checkbox you tick and suddenly you can build without a permit... Either it's a single or double-dwelling property, or it's not.nino said:
