Research, restoration and maintenance of immovable cultural heritage requires funding. Before proposing a new way of funding that is in accordance with society possibilities and market principles, all the problems, field situations and needs should be professionally assessed. Monument annuity represents a way of including the immovable cultural heritage into economic domain. If based on professional principles, this would not represent an attack, a denial or profanation of heritage but could be the first step in regulation of the monumental potential of a territory. Monumental annuity provides sustainable monument management, defines maximum number of monument users, restricts monument exploitation, encourages proper attitude towards the monument, stimulates income, balances expenses, provides incentive for further exploration, provides funds needed for research and maintenance etc. During research, we used the theoretical and practical experiences of countries that have introduced payment of monument annuity.
