My experience : 3.5 yrs on from initial build, we finally got electricity & water meters allocated to individual properties in our development last September. We waited till Feb this yr to apply for ownership (submitted by a lawyer), came through in April, had our names on the land registry. As we had not received a tax demand by middle of May, we decided to be proactive. We went to see a friendly notary who explained to us what we needed to do - went to court with passport & contract to obtain a copy of the land title, brought necessary stamps, then went to the tax office, explained what we were after. Having heard that it would take a while before we received the demand, we were very surprised to be told they would speed it up(our Croatian friend explained we were leaving HR the following week). We went back to the notary to set up power of attorney for our friend to receive the demand. BUT within half an hr, our friend received a call from tax office to say invoice was ready. So we duely picked up the invoice and paid the tax. Obviously they were keen to get tax!!!

After finding out that we were entered in the Land Registry prior to paying our tax I am now in a position to process the sale to me of my partners half of the property. However my lawyer said I need a notorised statement from him in Croatian stating he has been paid in full.
Firstly can anyone answer is it ok to have this statement notorised and apostille stamped in a foreign country.
Second question is there any other information this statement should contain ? Any advice is appreciated.
