Frequently asked questions
Yes. EU/EEA citizens buy apartments, houses and building land on the same terms as Croatians. Non-EU citizens (including UK, US, Canadian and Australian nationals) can buy under reciprocity rules but may need approval from the Ministry of Justice, which typically takes 3–12+ months. Many non-EU buyers instead set up a Croatian limited company (d.o.o.) to purchase — see our foreign buyers guide for details.
You start with an offer and reservation (a fee of roughly €1,000–€5,000), then sign a preliminary contract with a 10% deposit. The main contract is signed before a notary and the balance is paid, followed by a tax filing within 30 days. Finally the land registry is updated to record you as owner, which usually takes 4–12 weeks.
As of 2026, second-hand properties carry a 3% real-estate transfer tax, while new builds include 25% VAT in the developer’s quoted price instead. On top of that, budget for notary fees (roughly €200–€700), a lawyer (€800–€2,000) and a court interpreter if needed (€150–€300). All in, expect roughly 7–8% on top of the asking price; confirm current figures with your lawyer or agency.
In Croatia the buyer pays the agency commission, and 3% + VAT of the purchase price is the standard in Rovinj. We are an information portal, not the agent — we connect you to Casale Real Estate, a licensed local agency, who represents you through the purchase. We keep this transparent up front: buying through the agency is not free for buyers.
It is strongly advisable. An independent lawyer costs roughly €800–€2,000 on a typical purchase and verifies the title, checks for liens and confirms building permits before you commit. This is separate from the notary, who formalizes the contract but does not represent your interests. As of 2026, confirm current norms with your lawyer or the agency.
Financing options for non-residents vary by bank and by your citizenship and income situation. As of 2026, the practical route is to speak directly with Croatian banks or a local mortgage broker early, since approval and paperwork for foreign buyers can add time. Your lawyer or the agency can point you to banks that work with international buyers.
For EU buyers with paperwork in order, a straightforward purchase can complete within a couple of months, with the land-registry update alone usually taking 4–12 weeks. Non-EU citizens buying in their own name should allow much longer, as Ministry of Justice approval can take 3–12+ months. Setting up a Croatian company to buy is often faster than waiting on that approval.
Owning property does not automatically grant residency; non-EU owners remain subject to Schengen rules (90 days in 180), with separate routes like the digital-nomad visa or temporary residence. You can rent it out, but short-term letting requires a tourism permit and registration in the eVisitor system, and unlicensed rental carries substantial penalties. Confirm the current setup with your lawyer or accountant.
