Orthophoto image of Montenegro 2025 available online

The Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism, and State Property of Montenegro has released the latest satellite and aerial photogrammetry imagery of Montenegro for 2025, now accessible at: https://ortofoto2025.gov.me/. As Minister Slaven Radunović emphasized, the new imagery provides a strong boost to the legalization process and serves as a valuable data source for numerous institutions involved in urban planning, development, and the real estate market in Montenegro. He also noted that technical updates are still ongoing, and the highest resolution for all cities will be available on Monday, with government agencies and institutions gaining 3D access to the imagery.

Orthophoto 2025 – a key to faster legalization

Previously, cadastral offices and municipalities could not process legalization requests due to the absence of updated satellite and aerial imagery. According to the Law on the Legalization of Unauthorized Buildings, registration is prohibited for properties not recorded in this imagery, created in July of this year. The availability of the 2025 orthophoto map represents an important step toward faster and more efficient legalization, as well as increased confidence in the real estate market.

Orthophoto maps and map management

The interactive map allows you to:
• Quickly and easily search for parcels;
• View buildings and other structures;
• Display national borders;
• Show land boundaries;
• Access precise municipal cadastral boundaries, and more.
The map is flexible and user-friendly, allowing users to manage the visibility and details of different data layers, including orthophoto imagery, parcel boundaries, and administrative units.

Vertical vs. oblique orthophoto imagery

The main difference between vertical and oblique aerial photos lies in the camera angle, purpose, geometry, and the way objects are represented:
Vertical imagery: The camera is directed almost straight down, providing a uniform view of objects with a scale suitable for precise measurements.
Oblique imagery: The camera is tilted, creating a perspective view where closer objects appear larger, and surfaces and buildings show visible slope and depth.
Oblique photos provide a dynamic visual perspective, ideal for marketing and visual storytelling, while vertical photos offer accurate and reliable data for analysis and planning.

With the release of the 2025 orthophoto imagery, Montenegro’s real estate market enters a new era of transparency and security. Thanks to precise data, buyers and investors can now gain better insights into parcel conditions and investment opportunities.
