What rental yield an apartment in Bar gives
Gross long-term rental yield in Bar is 4.6% a year before tax. It is highest in Šušanj, 5.4%: apartments by the beach are rented all year round, and a square metre there is cheaper than in the centre. In Čeluga and Polje the yield is 4.7%, and in Dobra Voda and Utjeha 4.5%. It is lowest in Sutomore, 3.8%, and in Bjeliši, 3.9%: in resort Sutomore long-term rent of 60 m² is $510 a month against $670 across Bar, and apartments there are more often let by the day in summer.
| Area | Monthly rent of a 60 m² apartment | Yield a year |
|---|---|---|
| Šušanj | $760 (680 €) | 5.4% |
| Čeluga and Polje | $520 (470 €) | 4.7% |
| Dobra Voda and Utjeha | $500 (440 €) | 4.5% |
| Centre and Topolica | $740 (660 €) | 4.2% |
| Bjeliši | $550 (490 €) | 3.9% |
| Sutomore | $510 (450 €) | 3.8% |
| Whole city | $670 (600 €) | 4.6% |
Data for 2026: rent is the median monthly rent per m² in long-term apartment rental listings in the area on 20 October 2026 multiplied by 60 m², the area yield is the annual rent per m² divided by the median price per m² in sale listings, and for all of Bar the same across all listings in the municipality. Daily letting is not included. The yield is gross, before rental income tax, building costs and vacancy.
Apartments in Bar are let all year round: it has the main port of the country, ferries to Italy and the terminus of the railway from Belgrade, and in summer apartments by the sea are let to tourists by the day. Rental income is taxed at 15% plus a municipal surtax of up to 13% of the tax amount, and for daily letting the apartment is registered with the municipal tourist organisation and a tourist tax is paid for guests. The annual property tax is 0.25-1% of the market value by municipal decision.
In 2023 Russia suspended the main articles of its double taxation agreement with Montenegro, so the tax on rent is paid in Montenegro. Rates and examples are on the page Montenegro taxes.
What costs to add to the price of an apartment
The main payment on resale is the transfer tax: 3% up to $169,000 (150,000 euros), 5% on the part of the price up to $562,000 (500,000 euros) and 6% on the part above. For an apartment at $202,000 (180,000 euros) it is $6,740 (6,000 euros), 3.4% of the price. In a new building from a developer, 21% VAT is already in the price and there is no transfer tax.
| Payment | Apartment for $202,000 (180,000 euros) | Share of price |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer tax on resale | $6,740 (6,000 euros) | 3.4% |
| Notary | by tariff from the deal price | by tariff |
| Registration of title in the cadastre | cadastre fee | by tariff |
| New building from a developer | 21% VAT already in the price | no transfer tax |
Data for 2026: the transfer tax is calculated on the market value assessed by the tax administration, which can be higher than the contract price; a notary certifies the sale contract, and title is confirmed by a cadastre extract. A manager will calculate the costs for a specific apartment.
In Bar the apartment is checked against the cadastre before the deposit
Mistakes cost more than the tax: a smaller area registered in the cadastre than in the listing, an apartment still going through legalisation instead of finished ownership, a building without an occupancy permit, a tax value below $169,000 (150,000 euros) that does not give residence, or debts on property tax and utility bills. Murblz support removes these risks: we find an apartment, check the cadastre, encumbrances, permits and the seller, check the tax value before the deposit, and handle the deal at the notary up to the title registration and residence permit documents together with locally licensed partners.
The cost of support depends on the budget and the goal of the purchase; a manager will calculate it in the chat.
Does buying an apartment give a residence permit
Yes, from $169,000. An owner of a home with a tax value of at least $169,000 (150,000 euros) receives a temporary residence permit, renewed while the home stays in their ownership. The tax value is set by the tax administration and does not always match the contract price, so an apartment near the threshold is checked before the deposit. By price, the apartments in the cards from the apartment in central Bar for $202,000 to the apartment with a sauna in Šušanj for $359,000 meet the threshold.
From 1 November 2026 citizens of Russia and Belarus need a visa to enter Montenegro, and a residence card replaces it. Spending more than 30 days in a row outside Montenegro ends a residence permit based on a home, so trips are planned in advance; permanent residence is granted after 5 years of continuous living in the country. More on the page Montenegro residence permit.
How we find an apartment
- Goal and budget: living by the sea, letting, a residence permit or all of these. The manager clarifies the area, the distance to the sea, the size, the floor and how you will pay.
- Shortlist: apartments at the seller's price, with the construction stage for new buildings and a yield calculation from rents in the area.
- Checks: the cadastre extract and encumbrances, the occupancy permit of the building, the tax value for the residence permit, and debts on property tax and utility bills.
- Deal in person or by power of attorney: a contract with a deposit, the sale contract at the notary, the transfer tax, the cadastre entry and residence permit documents.
The manager sends the shortlist in the chat, with the sellers' prices on the date of the shortlist.
