ATR Minister wants PTSL target for 2027 increased
The Minister of Agraria and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), Nusron Wahid, intends to increase the targets for the Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) programme by 2027.
According to the Minister, PTSL is a strategic programme designed to expand legal certainty regarding land rights for the public through comprehensive, region-based land registration.
“Firstly, regarding the priority of PTSL, we want it to be increased for 2027. For this year and next year, our priority is not only PTSL but also the addition of sector-specific certifications, specifically for the housing sector for low-income communities (MBR),” Nusron stated in a briefing in Jakarta on Friday.
He explained that PTSL is a strategic programme because it is implemented on a village-wide basis with the goal of achieving complete land registration. Through this programme, all land parcels within a single village are registered simultaneously, ranging from residential houses, agricultural land, and plantations to waqf land, places of worship, and cemeteries.
“Since PTSL is based on village regions, all land parcels in one village are registered at the same time. However, for those not yet covered by PTSL, particularly in the housing sector, we are preparing a free certification scheme. This is part of our support for the Three Million Houses programme to ensure that low-income communities obtain legal certainty over the homes they occupy,” said Nusron.
In addition to PTSL, the Ministry of ATR/BPN is implementing a house certification programme for low-income communities to reach those not facilitated by the PTSL programme. This step is also part of the Ministry’s support for the Three Million Houses programme initiated by President Prabowo Subianto.
To support this programme, the Ministry of ATR/BPN has been assigned a target to certify one million houses for low-income communities in 2026. In executing this land certification programme, the Ministry of ATR/BPN is opening opportunities for collaboration with local governments and members of the House of Representatives (DPR RI) to identify citizens who meet the eligibility criteria.
Uncertified houses owned by low-income communities, including those that received home renovation programmes during the 2016-2025 period, can be proposed to participate in the free certification programme.
