The former Højer Municipality covered an area of 117&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>, and had a total population of 2,861 (2005).  Its last mayor was Peter Christensen, a member of the [[Social Democrats (Denmark)|Social Democrats]] (''Socialdemokraterne'') [[Politics of Denmark|political party]].

The coastal area of the former municipality is a nature reserve.

* Daler Parish
* Emmerlev Parish
* Hjerpsted Parish
* Højer Parish

On 1 January 2007 Højer municipality ceased to exist due to [[Municipalities of Denmark#Municipal Reform 2007|''Kommunalreformen'' ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007)]].

This created a municipality with an area of 1,352&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> and a total population of 42,645 (2005).
