The Government of Montenegro has published a proposal for new notary service tariffs. The main change for sales contracts is that notaries will now rely more strictly on official real estate market value registries, making it harder to artificially lower the contract amount to save on fees.
Additionally, new cost items have been introduced, such as a mandatory fee for the digital processing of documents. We analyzed the proposal and gathered all the main rates relevant to real estate transactions and legalization:
