Municipalities of Denmark

Denmark is divided into 13 counties (amter), and 271 municipalities (kommuner).

Municipality Reform 2007

As of July 2004, the government is in the process of reforming the regions (the Municipality Reform, Kommunalreformen). The 13 counties (amter) will be replaced with 5 new regions (regioner), while the 271 municipalities will be consolidated into around 100 larger units of at least 20,000 inhabitants and take over most of the responsibilities of the current counties.
