At the rellies for Christmas dinner and one mentioned HDZ is thinking of changing some property laws - such as foreigners must have residency for a number of years if they wish to buy property in Croatia and both the buyer and seller will pay 5% tax each on the value of the property. Any truth? Any other possible new property laws?

Well, many laws in this country don't make any sense at all, so nothing surprises me anymore.

That would mean that anyone getting residency via property ownership will be unable to do so.
Sounds a bit strange.

I can't see it either. Why would they want to kill the property market: its not as though its over heated anymore. I think these rumours are just urban myths

I think these rumours are just urban myths The government will be getting additional revenue for nothing. I'm not saying it is right. But, try seeing it from the government's point of view. |

The government would double its money each time a property is sold, but it would more than halve the number of properties sold, so it would actually get a lot less in total.

The tax can be easily changed. However rules regarding buying the property can't be implemented for the EU citizens or Croatia will need to revoke its EU application.
