Three things international buyers should know

Who can buy

Citizens of EU countries buy under the same conditions as Croatians, without a permit. Citizens of other countries need approval from the Ministry of Justice, which depends on reciprocity with their home country, or they buy through a Croatian company.

Euro and land registry

Croatia uses the euro. Ownership is recorded in the land registry, whose extract can be viewed online with area, owner and registered encumbrances.

Enquiries in English

You write to the agency in English, straight from the listing. The agency answers you personally; phone and WhatsApp appear where the agency has released them.

Frequently asked questions

How does Immobalko work?
Immobalko is a portal, not an agent. Only verified Croatian agencies list here, no private sellers. Search, favourites and the search agent are free; your enquiry goes directly to the agency that handles the property.
Can foreigners buy property in Croatia?
Yes. EU citizens buy under the same conditions as Croatian citizens, without a permit. Citizens of other countries need approval from the Ministry of Justice, which depends on reciprocity with their home country, or they buy through a Croatian company. Agricultural land has its own rules.
What are the purchase costs in Croatia?
Real estate transfer tax of 3% of the purchase price on existing properties. When buying a new build from a developer, 25% VAT applies instead and is included in the price. Add the agency commission (usually up to 3% plus VAT), notary, land registry and, if you wish, a lawyer.
