Complete guide for property owners and investors about real estate legalization in 2025

NEW PROPERTY LEGALIZATION LAW IN MONTENEGRO 2025

In August 2025, Montenegro enacted a new Law on Legalization of Illegally Constructed (Unauthorized) Buildings (published in the "Official Gazette of Montenegro", No 91/2025 dated August 6, 2025). This law directly affects every owner of a house, apartment, or commercial property built without complete construction permits or occupancy permits.

CRITICALLY IMPORTANT:

Legalization applications must be submitted within 6 MONTHS from the law's effective date (before the middle of february of 2026).

Since August 2025, notaries have SUSPENDED TRANSACTIONS with properties having "nema dozvolu" (no permit) status. Selling or renting real estate without confirmed legalization documents becomes IMPOSSIBLE.

Key Provisions of the New Law

Extended Legalization Opportunities

  • Clear technical, legal, and territorial criteria
  • Ability to legalize objects built before the law came into force
  • Electronic submission of applications and documents

Financial Conditions

  • Payment installment plans for up to 30 years for residential properties
  • Up to 20% discount for lump-sum payment
  • Special benefits for socially vulnerable categories (up to 90%)

Administrative Division

  • Objects up to 500 m² are legalized through municipalities (opština)
  • Large objects and those in protected zones through state authorities
  • Clear review periods: up to 2 years (with possible extension to 3 years)

Impact of the Law on the Real Estate Market

Since August 2025, notaries have suspended transactions with properties that have "nema dozvolu" (no permit) status in the list nepokretnosti. Now selling or renting real estate without confirmed legalization documents becomes impossible.

DEADLINE: Until the MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY OF 2026

This is the absolute deadline for submitting applications. Missing this deadline means:

  • Inability to sell or rent the property
  • Administrative fines
  • Increased property taxes
  • Risk of forced demolition

WHAT IS ILLEGAL REAL ESTATE IN MONTENEGRO

Definition of Unauthorized Object

According to Montenegro's legislation, an unauthorized (bespravni) object is a building or part thereof that:

  • Was built, reconstructed, extended, or expanded without građevinska dozvola (construction permit) or other official act
  • Was executed in violation of permit conditions or exceeds the permitted area
  • Does not have upotrebna dozvola (occupancy permit/usage permit)

The Category of Unauthorized Objects Also Includes

  • Auxiliary buildings that form a functional whole with residential or commercial objects
  • Buildings for agricultural use
  • Cultural heritage objects without permits
  • Structures on which rough structural work was performed without permission

Historical Background

After the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, seven independent states emerged. Local authorities were unable to keep up with creating new territorial development projects (detailed urban plans - DUP). In some regions, DUPs were not developed for 20-30 years.

As a result, property owners had no chance to obtain official construction permits. The government nevertheless issued list nepokretnosti certificates with the notation "Nema građevinske dozvole" (No construction permit).

According to the Ministry of Tourism and Sustainable Development, there are approximately 100,000 illegally constructed objects in Montenegro.

HOW TO CHECK THE LEGAL STATUS OF PROPERTY

Verification Through List Nepokretnosti

List nepokretnosti is the primary document on property ownership rights in Montenegro, analogous to a land registry extract.

STEP 1: Obtain List Nepokretnosti

The document can be obtained:

  • At the Real Estate Administration (Uprava za nekretnine)
  • Through the e-Katastar electronic portal
  • From a notary
  • Through specialized agencies

Cost: 3-5 euros | Timeline: from several hours to 2-3 days

STEP 2: Find the "Podaci o teretima i ograničenjima" Section

This is the last or second-to-last section of the document, containing information about encumbrances and restrictions (G-list).

STEP 3: Interpret the Status

LEGAL OBJECT:

"Ne postoje tereti i ograničenja" (No encumbrances and restrictions exist)

ILLEGAL OBJECT - Requires Legalization:

  • "Nema dozvolu"
  • "GRADJEVINSKU NITI UPOTREBNU DOZVOLU"
  • "Without construction permit"
  • "Izgrađen bez građevinske dozvole"

OTHER POSSIBLE ENTRIES:

  • Mortgage (hipoteka) - does not affect legal status
  • Court disputes - temporary restriction
  • Right of use - does not require legalization

What to Do When "Nema Dozvolu" Status Is Discovered

  1. Clarify the object's history - when it was built, whether it appears on 2017-2018 orthophoto
  2. Check for submitted legalization documents
  3. Assess legalization possibility - compliance with plans, location
  4. Begin the legalization procedure immediately
