≈ +3.8% over the price. A 3% real-estate transfer tax on the contract price (market-value floors apply); VAT-new builds skip it. Croatia’s dual system —gruntovnica (land registry) and the newer cadastre — still produces the occasional mismatch: your lawyer clears both. EU citizens buy freely; non-EU need reciprocity.

Rentals run on rules

The rent side, in three lines

  • Deposits run one month (kaucija).
  • Leases commonly run 12 months, registered for enforcement.
  • Tourism-zone leases carry seasonal terms — year-round contracts trade rent for security.

Zagreb prices off the capital economy; Split and Zadar price off the Adriatic season in euros.

Property transfer tax is 3% on the declared value. Notarial fees are regulated. EU buyers can purchase freely; non-EU buyers need Ministry of Justice consent.

Coastal Croatia is booming: Dubrovnik and Split attract luxury buyers; Zadar is emerging. Zagreb is the administrative capital.
