Croatia real estate tax and rental market developments

Overview

The Croatian Tax Administration addressed concerns regarding unpaid real estate tax warnings, stating that the warnings are based on correctly recorded obligations. The administration noted that while objections and appeals are being processed, filing an appeal does not postpone the execution of tax decisions, meaning taxpayers may need to settle obligations while the process is ongoing.

Following these administrative clarifications, legislative discussions have emerged regarding potential real estate tax increases and rental market reforms. A proposal under public consultation suggests raising the real estate tax from 5 euros to a maximum of 8 euros per square meter starting in 2027, a move intended to encourage owners of vacant apartments to enter the long-term rental market.

Concurrently, a new legislative framework for the rental market is being developed to increase legal certainty for landlords and tenants. However, the reform has faced significant criticism during public consultation, with opponents arguing that certain provisions could infringe on private property rights and reduce the overall housing supply.
