“Preparation of project and cadastral documentation for legalization”

“Legalization is a process through which illegally constructed buildings are brought into legal frameworks.”

Why do You need legalistion for Your Property

Legalization of unregistered or undocumented buildings in Dubrovnik and the surrounding area requires a professional approach, accurate documentation, and knowledge of Croatian construction laws. Our team offers a complete legalization service for all types of properties — from private homes and residential buildings to commercial and tourism facilities.

The legalization process includes several essential steps: land surveying, assessing the existing condition, preparing technical and architectural documentation, calculating and paying administrative fees, and submitting the request to the authorities. We handle every phase to ensure the process runs smoothly and remains fully compliant with legal requirements.

Clients receive complete professional assistance throughout the process — from document preparation to communication with public offices — ensuring a stress-free experience and timely issuance of the legalization permit.
