Could anyone tell me the Croatian for "Building permit"?
Also could you tell me how one is obtained?
Is it a separate process from obtaining planning permission for a new building?
Many thanks for any assistance.

Hi Anton,
The name for the building permit is: RJEŠENJE O UVJETIMA GRAÐENJA or graðevinsku dozvolu
What do you need? Do you have a building plot, than you have to make a project with a project office. If you have the plot, where is it located? If it is in Dalmatia, we know some good project offices, architects, contractors, geometers etc..
If you have some additional questions, you can contact us at info@secondhomeservicecroata.com Off course you can also ask your questions here on this board.

Hi Rene
Thanks for your help.
It is our neighbour who is trying to sell us a building plot.
I think he has nearly completed his project and is close to receiving approval for the plans for a building on the plot.
I understand that you also need a building permit and wondered how difficult it was to obbtain this and what it entailed.
Thanks again.

Hi Anton
something to bear in mind is that there are two stages to getting a building permit prior to starting to build. The first is the cheapest: obtaining approval that the property is within the building zone. All you need for that is an idea project (about 10% of the total architect final bill).
Then the second is the one where you need full plans, complete with electrical engineer plans etc. That one costs a fortune and can take much longer to obtain.
After that, you finally have permission to get the builders in.
When done there is a massive tax bill to be paid.
Then you can get the usage permit and finally your new house is ready for occupation or sale.

Hello Anton, The first thing you should find out is whether there is a zoning plan and if the plot is in the dark yellow zone. Do not let anyone fool you when they try to sell you all plot in the light yellow zone. That could take years before you get a permit. If you have to figure everything out yourself it could be quite a challenge. Trust me we know. Also the HEP and Vodavod connections can be a challenge. But if you really want to realize your dream you have to go for it. But make sure that you take the right steps. It will be a bumpy ride with sometimes a little setback Carol, no offense but unfortunately it will take more than 2 steps or stages Bye Rene

Thanks Rene and Carol for your assistance it is much appreciated. Our neighbour is trying to sell us the plot with planning permission for a new building which he has had designed. This includes water and electrical connections. I guess we need to confirm with him that the "building permit" is also included as I understand this can impact on the cost of the plot.

so, you don't want to actually build it, just preserve the aspect of your current property?
That being so, please be aware that planning permission comes with an expiry date - 3 years, I think.
So, if you were thinking of keeping things as they are until you sell your house one day, then you would have 3 choices after purchasing the land 1. You would have an ongoing cost of renewing the planning permission (which is not guaranteed by any means). 2. You could let the permission expire and thereby you'd lose some of the investment you may be about to make 3. You could break ground and declare the works started. As far as I know, once started there is no law that says you need to finish within a certain timescale (and that is probably why you see half finished houses all around which appear not to have been touched for years). I don't know exactly how much you would have to do though to have officially started the build.
The downside of number 3 is the sheer ugliness of a deserted building site.

That's exactly right Carol.
It would be better for us to have the options you describe, if we can negotiate a reasonable price, rather than the uncertainty of not knowing when the new building will be started and/or completed and what impact it will have.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Anton,
If you are thinking of buying the plot with permit and actually build like its in the project plan, make sure you check the complete project first. The building permit is not only one paper. It should be like 4 to 5 maps with all the plans, material, electricity, plumbing ect.
The house has to be build like it's described in the project! Also check if all isolation of the house is in the project and if the insulation values and qualities are described in the project. If not, you have a problem with the legalization of the house. When the house is finished you have to get a paper from the opcina, for the cadaster and court and they also need the energy label.
Bye Rene

Also when you get a usage permit get an energy certificate as well as new law applies on entry to the EU , you need this in order to sell it later ... or you can wait to apply for the energy certificate when you decide to sell. energetski-certifikat.info/support.htmlIn croatian, so translate using google Jadranka www.adriamare.hr
