Surveying work in Cetinje: what is different here
Cetinje is the Old Royal Capital, and 86% of the municipality's residents live in the town itself. The villages are mostly sparsely populated, so work here often deals with old family houses and land that the owners rarely visit.
There is little new construction: only 7% of dwellings have been built since 2012. So parcel identification, inheritance, boundary marking and registering old buildings are more common than unit subdivision.

Frequently asked questions - Cetinje
I've inherited a house in a village near Cetinje. What should I do first?
Check the property certificate and whether the house is registered at all. Old buildings often need the parcel identified and the building surveyed.
The plot is near Lovćen National Park. Does that affect building?
It can. Check the planning document and whether the parcel lies within the park or its buffer zone before you commission a design.
I live outside Montenegro. Can everything be done remotely?
Most of it can. Send the documents electronically. To submit applications on your behalf, a power of attorney is usually needed.
