Agricultural land (plot) can be rezoned to buildable land to the extent that such a rezoning was planned by the relevant local plan.1 The consideration of rezoning represents 100 times the average cadastral income for the exploited agricultural land in the municipality of the land. This consideration does not apply to rezoning for the construction of certain types of structures such as roads used for agricultural purposes and the factories producing agricultural products etc.

Building permits are issued by the relevant municipality authorities in accordance with Article 32 of the Construction Act 2000. The investor must submit in writing the relevant documents among which the plan of the building and the title demonstrating the property right over the land (the excerpt from the land register). For the buildings of a particular interest for the country (e.g. roads, airports etc), the permit is delivered by the Ministry in charge of construction. The building permit remains valid during the time period indicated therein (between 6 months and one year). Under Montenegrin law, the land zoning and the issuing of building permits must comply with local plans which ought to comply with the Master Plan Act 2005.2

Provided that the building conforms to the initial building permit, a use permit is issued for the building by the same authorities that issued the building permit. The conformity of the building to the main plan is inspected by the relevant authorities, but the law does not provide a time limit for the performance of such inspection. The use permit is issued or denied within 8 days as of the end of the inspection of the building.
