Maps and Drawings
The City Webcam is a live and interactive land information system where you can access detailed information about the city's landscape and services. On a drawing site there are drawings of the houses of the city in good resolution.
Street and Square Vendors
Street vending refers to sales activities in public, such as on squares, streets, sidewalks, and parks.
Building Preservation
Old houses need to be treated with respect and maintenance and renovation must be done correctly. Certain structures have a preservation value for artistic or cultural-historical reasons.
Real estate charges
Property charges are applied annually to all properties, unless they are exempt by law, and the owner is at all times responsible for their payment. A real property is considered a restricted part of a land, together with its organic and inorganic components, rights attached thereto and the human beings permanently bound to the land.
Housing
The City of Reykjavik's main objective in housing is the creation of a diversified and flexible housing market that guarantees an affordable roof for all, regardless of whether people need support with their housing or not.
Development Viewer
