Buying or owning land but unsure if you can build?

Yes, and that is the best time for it. You find out whether the plot allows what you plan to build before you sign anything, so you do not risk buying land you cannot build on.

Both are listed in the land register extract or the cadastral property sheet. You can also look them up for free, by address or on the map, in the public Uređena zemlja application: oss.uredjenazemlja.hr.

That is fine. You can skip the optional fields in the form, and the analysis will show what is possible on the site: which use, how many square metres and how many storeys.

Yes. The site analysis focuses on the spatial plan requirements, not ownership status. For ownership and legal issues, we recommend consulting a lawyer.

EU citizens can generally buy property on the same terms as Croatian citizens. For citizens of other countries, it depends on reciprocity and approval from the competent ministry. Agricultural land has separate rules. As this is a legal question, we recommend checking with a lawyer.

We check the land-use designation, the minimum plot area, the permitted site coverage and floor area ratio, the number of storeys and building height, the setbacks from plot boundaries and the road, the conditions of access to the plot, the required parking spaces, and whether a pool and ancillary buildings are allowed.

Location information is an official document that states which spatial plans apply to the plot and which zone it is in. Based on those plans, the Site Analysis checks what exactly you can build on your plot: which use, how many square metres and storeys, and where problems might arise.

We check road access, that is, whether the plot can be reached from a public road (a common reason for permit rejection). The conditions for connecting to water, electricity and sewerage are set when the preliminary design is submitted to the public authorities.

Yes. For a built plot, we check to what extent an extension, vertical extension or reconstruction of the existing building is permitted under the spatial plan in force.

No. The site analysis is a professional assessment of building possibilities based on current spatial plans and regulations, but it does not constitute a legal guarantee for obtaining a building permit.

1. We verify the accuracy of the entered data and get in touch by phone or email if we need additional information.
2. Then we begin the analysis of the spatial plan requirements and existing regulations for your location.
3. Once complete, we send you the analysis as a PDF document. If needed, we also arrange an online meeting to walk you through the analysis and the current status.

We deliver the site analysis within 5 to 10 working days of receiving complete data, depending on complexity.

The site analysis is a free service we offer as a first step in collaboration.

All of Croatia.

Yes. If the plots are in the same cadastral municipality, enter them all in the "Cadastral plot" field, e.g. 123/45, 123/46. If they are in different cadastral municipalities, list the other plots in the "Additional information" field or fill out the form separately for each municipality.

In the language you fill out the form in: Croatian, English or German.

We base the analysis on the spatial plan currently in force. If amendments are in progress, we check the publicly available drafts and let you know if they could affect your project.

In that case, we will explain the reasons and offer alternative solutions if available, such as changing the land-use designation or adapting the project.

No. The site analysis is free and does not oblige you to further collaboration. The decision is entirely yours.

Great, that is the most important first step! Next come the concept design, the main design and the building permit. We will gladly guide you through each of these steps, all the way to the occupancy permit. For more details, take a look at our services.
