Sjóar Kommuna used to include the entire western branch of Skálafjørður, but since the division in 1952 into Skála and Sjóar Kommuna, the latter municipality has comprised the markatal settlements of Strendur and Selatrað, which lie on the western side of Eysturoy, the outlying villages of Innan Glyvur, which lies between Strendur and Skála, as well Morskranes and Kolbeinagjógv on the west side of Eysturoy, which were established 1876 and 1933, respectively.
Sjóar Kommuna is part of the municipal cooperation on care for the elderly through the joint institution Roðin. The old-age and nursing home Eldrasambílið Sjóvarlon was built in Strendur in 2016 and has ten places. The municipality also collaborates with Runavíkar and Nes Kommuna on day-care facilities and child welfare. Strendur has a medical practice and a district psychiatry clinic.
