Limited knowledge of local regulations and permits can significantly complicate the process of planning and building real estate in the Republic of Croatia. According to the Construction Act, the key step is obtaining a building permit, which includes a detailed project plan, urban conditions, and environmental impact studies. In addition, spatial plans of local self-government units, which define land use and construction conditions, also play a significant role.

The lack of necessary knowledge can result in delays in the process, additional costs, or even suspension of the project. For example, according to current laws, for the construction of luxury real estate or facilities in specific locations, additional requirements or restrictions are possible that vary depending on the construction zone or terrain characteristics. For the construction of luxury real estate, additional permits or consents are often required, such as conservation conditions if the project takes place in a protected area. Also, depending on the construction zone, additional requirements for infrastructure connections, such as water supply, sewerage or power equipment, are possible.
