† census cadastre: records based on an old inventory without a modern survey, so the data may differ considerably from the situation on the ground.

Frequently asked questions - Nikšić
My house in Kličevo has an extension that is not registered. What is needed?
An as-built survey and a survey report. If the extension has no permit, the legalisation process follows.
How do we divide a field on the Nikšić plain between heirs?
The surveyor surveys the parcel and prepares a parcel subdivision survey report based on the inheritance decision or the heirs' agreement. The new parcels get their own numbers in the cadastre.
The old map does not match what is on the ground. Who corrects it?
The surveyor surveys the actual situation and prepares the documents for the correction. Sometimes the parcels from the old and new surveys have to be identified first.
