Following the municipal reforms, it became a part of the rural municipality of Perstorp. On 23 May 1935, the municipal community of Perstorp was established.

Until 1971, the village was part of the Norra Åsbo district court. From 1971 to 2001 it was part of the district court of Klippan, since 2001 it has been part of the district court of Helsingborg.
