Scope
Use the Albania Passport for current structured rules
Albanian property rules depend on the asset. An apartment, a house with underlying land, constructible land, agricultural land and a coastal or resort unit are not interchangeable legal categories.
OwnASea separates law, tax administration, cadastral procedure, bank products, tourism rules and market evidence. Conditional and under-review facts are never reduced to a simple yes/no answer.

Residential units, land and resort assets are not one rule
Foreign ownership, underlying land, cadastral status, construction legality and strategic or protected-zone constraints must be checked separately. The Passport keeps unresolved land categories visible.
