State Inspectorate in action: Closed apartments, camps and holiday homes

The Croatian State Inspectorate conducted intensified inspections from April 20 to July 20, 2026, targeting unregistered accommodation services and illegal advertising on internet platforms. These inspections aimed to protect legal business operations and combat grey economy and unfair competition during the tourist season. Based on reports from tourism communities and data comparisons between tax authorities and online listing platforms, inspectors identified 122 cases of non-compliance, including unauthorized provision of hospitality services and unlawful advertising. Over 1,441 inspection checks were carried out across numerous locations throughout Croatia, resulting in 68 administrative measures, 36 decisions prohibiting unregistered service provision, and significant financial penalties totaling €81,169.08, along with the seizure of illicitly gained property valued over €343,812. The inspectorate continues these efforts to ensure fair market conditions and urges unregistered providers to comply with regulations.
