How to pay property and utility taxes in Montenegro remotely

Buying a property in Montenegro is not only a profitable investment, but also a convenient format for owning a home abroad. Many owners live in other countries and come to the coast only a few times a year. Therefore, one of the most pressing issues is how to pay taxes and utilities without being in Montenegro.

Let's look at the main ways and tell you how to completely solve this issue remotely.


Payment of property tax

Each owner is required to pay an annual property tax. The amount of tax depends on the municipality — for example, in Budva, Bar or Kotor, the rates may vary slightly.

Remote payment methods

  1. Bank transfer
    The tax can be paid via an international bank transfer using the details of the municipality. To do this, it is necessary:
  • get a tax decision
  • correctly specify the purpose of the payment
  • take into account the bank's fees
  1. Through a trusted person
    You can issue a power of attorney to a representative who will pay taxes on your behalf.
  2. Through a real estate agency
    The most convenient and popular way is to transfer all tasks to professionals.

Payment for utilities

Utility bills in Montenegro include:

  • electricity
  • water
  • garbage collection
  • Internet and TV

Even with the rare use of housing, bills continue to be issued, and it is important to pay them on time to avoid fines or blackouts.

How to pay remotely

  • via online banking (if you have a local account)
  • via international transfers
  • through a representative or a management company

Why Self-payment can be difficult

In practice, property owners often face a number of difficulties:

  • invoices are sent to a local address
  • Documents can be in Montenegrin
