Key takeaways

  • A unique registration number will be mandatory for all short-term rental properties in Croatia starting in 2027; properties without this number cannot be listed on platforms.
  • A new categorization system will require re-evaluation every 10 years, meaning standards and requirements may change, affecting rental conditions and rates.
  • The law is currently in the adoption process (expected by year-end), so specific details may be clarified; those involved in renting or seeking accommodation should follow official announcements and check with rental platforms.

New Regulations for Croatian Short-Term Rentals

The Croatian government is set to introduce significant changes for the short-term rental market with a new Hospitality Activities Act, expected to be adopted by the end of this year. These reforms, which will come into effect in 2027, will impact all properties offered through online short-term rental platforms, from private landlords to hotels and campsites.

A key provision of the upcoming law is the requirement for every short-term rental unit – including rooms, apartments, studios, and holiday homes – to obtain a unique registration number. This number will be mandatory for listing properties on any online platform. Additionally, a new categorization system will be introduced, requiring re-evaluation every 10 years. The aim of these measures is to enhance market transparency and standardize services across the sector.

For individuals considering short-term rentals in Croatia, either as a guest or a landlord, these new requirements could influence property visibility, pricing, and rental conditions. While the law is still in the adoption phase, the effective dates are confirmed. Stakeholders are advised to monitor official announcements and consult with rental platforms and local authorities for updated details.
