A company called Registarkatastar.hr is sending foreign property owners a document in Croatian which is puzzling many. Its website is not much help, as it too is only in Croatian. The document is accompanied with a payment slip.

The bottom line: THERE IS NO OBLIGATION ON YOU TO PAY ANYTHING.

We have checked with the Katastar authorities: the company is independent, without official standing with them. The payment document states that it is for entry into a special list of foreign property owners in Croatia. There is no explanation as to what the list is for. From the website, it seems the purpose is for foreigners to be able to advertise their properties for sale. As the site offers no possibility of access in any language other than Croatian, one has to conclude that it is not likely to achieve much traffic! We are told that Google translate did not make head or tail of the payment document.
