4. Obtain Your OIB (Personal Identification Number)
To buy property in Croatia, you’ll need a Personal Identification Number (OIB), which is issued by the Croatian Tax Administration and required for financial and legal transactions. The MyHvar team or your attorney can assist you in obtaining your OIB quickly and easily.
5. Review and Sign a Preliminary Agreement (if required)
In some cases, a preliminary contract may be necessary, which usually involves a deposit and outlines the terms for the main purchase contract. Our experts at MyHvar will guide you through this step if applicable, ensuring that your interests are protected.
6. Sign the Main Purchase Contract
Signing the main purchase contract is a significant milestone, marking you as the new owner of your dream property on Hvar. Our team and your legal representative will explain all contract details and ensure the transaction proceeds smoothly.
7. Register in the Land Registry
Once the purchase is completed, your attorney will handle the registration of your new property in the Land Registry on Hvar Island. This step officially confirms your ownership and establishes you as part of the Hvar community.
8. Fulfill Your Tax Obligations
Buying property in Croatia involves a one-time property transfer tax of 3% of the property’s value. MyHvar will assist you in meeting all tax requirements and understanding any additional fees, ensuring a smooth and transparent transaction.
9. Transfer Ownership and Utilities
Once your ownership is finalized, you’ll need to transfer utilities such as electricity, water, and internet services to your name. MyHvar can help facilitate this process, allowing you to settle quickly into the comfort of your new home on Hvar.
