Hi,
I thought this had been discussed before but my search didn´t return any posts. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has a definitive answer on non-Croatians buying agricultural land ? As far as I was aware, they can´t, but a foreign owned d.o.o could. Cheers.

I have no idea about a company but I do know that foreign individuals cannot own agricultural, park or forest lands. It gets complicated if you are bequeathed same in a will or by some other 'unusual' route.

Short answer: YES
Long answer: If the company is Croatian, then the law does not discriminate regarding what the company can do on the grounds of the nationality of the company's owner. So there is no difference between a foreign-owned Croatian company and a Croatian-owned Croatian company.
Anyway its not as though you are going to try to put the land into a suitcase and take it out of the country is it?

Hi Frederick,
Yes you can. Depends though what you want to do with it , where it is and how big it is....
If you want to build a non-residential 15sqm building, over 1km from the coast, on at least 3000sqm, then you can...anything more then no
7-15Euro/sqm is the rate, depending where , and the state of the soil, terraces and plants.
If you buy 30K sqm then you get the automatic right to build on 200sqm, i think...that is if you can find a plot that size with easy title.
As Carol said, set a company, and buy it. Easier later to sell it, but a few costs here and there (400E/ year-ish)
You may have difficulty getting water and electricity connected too, unless at a higher business rate. But rain...solar...wind...someone's tap...
In short, its the cheapo option for a place in beautiful croatia, so if you've got 70K Euro's+ buy a house like normal people. ...
Don't trust what i say because things always change

Thanks for clarifying the situation. I thought it should be possible. I actually want to buy the land to grow stuff so building isn´t really important. Like you said, a small building for storing tools would be sufficient. The price is also in line with what you mentioned.

The price varies a fair amount...you'd get woodland for 5 and maybe fairly good ready to go land for 10. but then it depends on the location - remeber the size and proximity to the sea restrictions though. The outbuilding size changed from 25 to 15 sqm last year i think.
It seems that this kind of thing is not for the usual crowd. But the whole eco-ting with rain catchers, cisterns, solar wind and eco bog makes it all feasible..the only problem i now have is being there for enough time to tend my soon to be champagne bearing vines!
i'd be interested to hear your experiences...
