Croatia to Mandate Landlord Registration and 10-Year Recategorization from 2027

Croatia's government plans to adopt a new Law on Hospitality Activities by end of 2026, introducing mandatory registration numbers for landlords and a recategorization process every 10 years starting 2027. The law aims to regulate the short-term rental market, but details on enforcement and penalties remain unclear. This signals a regulatory shift that could affect the tourism sector and property owners.
