📰 All about the new real estate legalization law in Montenegro.

In August 2025, the updated Zakon o legalizaciji bespravnih objekata (Law on Legalization of Informal Structures) came into effect.

This law affects thousands of owners whose properties were built without a permit (nema dozvolu za gradnju).

Here's what every owner needs to know:

  • You can submit an application (zaštitna prijava) until the end of 2025. This secures your right to legalize, even if land ownership issues are still being sorted out.
  • Settling land title issues won't block the process. You can submit the documents at the same time.
  • The financial side is flexible:
  • Payment for the urban rehabilitation fee can be made in installments over 30 years.
  • You get a ~20% discount if you pay in one lump sum.

Risks of not taking part:

  • A ban on all property transactions (kupoprodaja, zaloga, nasledstvo – sales, mortgages, inheritance).
  • An annual penalty fee (kaznena naknada).
  • The risk of administrative demolition.
