It is important if you want to rent out in Croatia to get categorisation and a rental licence from the tourist authorities. If you rent out without a tourist licence you are liable to get a visit from the authorities. If they find you have paying guests they can throw them out and close the property for a month, during which time you won't even be able to use the property yourself.

Cross posted from another thread in December:
We got some good news today regarding categorisation of a 4 year old villa which the owner wants to rent out. He has finally got his categorisation.
It is possible, but it has taken a lot of effort in order to achieve it. If you want us to organise tourist categorisation for a newly built villa in Istria please contact us at info@croatiapropertyservices.com
In general, categorisation has been possible for rebuilds of older property. The problem, following reinterpretation of the law of 1992, has been categorisation of more recently built villas and apartments. Initially, they got them and have retained them, but later applications, following the reinterpretation, failed, leaving many buyers who, when they did their due diligence, established they they could get them, in limbo. When their bank loans depended on the projected rental income, this left many owners in a difficult situation.
The one we got it for should have succeeded three years ago, had it not been for delays obtaining the Uporabna Dozvola. If it had been issued in reasonable time and there were no reasons why it shouldn't have been, it would have been categorised before the change in interpretation. By the time it did get the Uporabna Dozvola, the new rules were applying.
The securing of this categorisation proves that it can be done, but it does seem to depend on a degree of co-operation from the local opcina. Not all of them seem to be willing to devote time to it.
