Notice period for the owners' meeting in Croatia

Short answer

The invitation to an owners' meeting is delivered at least five days before the meeting, in writing to the owner's letterbox in the building or at the home address, or by e-mail if a majority of more than half of the owners has agreed to that. In every case it must also be posted on the building's noticeboard.

What the law says

Original wording of the law (Croatian). The summary and the notes around it are ours.

Poziv za sastanak suvlasnika dostavlja se najmanje pet dana prije sastanka, pisanim putem, u poštanski pretinac suvlasnika u zgradi ili na adresu prebivališta odnosno boravišta suvlasnika ili putem elektroničke pošte, prema dogovoru natpolovične većine suvlasnika, uz dodatan obvezan uvjet objavom na oglasnoj ploči zgrade.

What this means in practice

The invitation states who convenes the meeting, the place, the time and the way the meeting is held, and the agenda. The co-owners' representative convenes the meeting; the building manager can too, and so can co-owners with a set share of the building that depends on how many units it has. A meeting is mandatory at least once a year. This is the new Act on Management and Maintenance of Buildings, in force since 1 January 2025.

General information, not legal advice. Check with a lawyer in Croatia before relying on it, and read your building's own documents: they can change how a rule applies.

Where Unitify fits

Unitify sends announcements and meeting notices to residents and keeps a record of what went out and when. Whether a notice is valid, in its channel, deadline and content, depends on the law above and on your own rules. Unitify does not make a notice valid.
