Bandung Regency BPN Accelerates PTSL for 40,000 Land Parcels

The National Land Agency (BPN) Office in Bandung Regency, West Java, is accelerating the implementation of the 2026 Complete Systematic Land Registration (PTSL) programme to meet a certification target of 40,000 land parcels. Head of the Bandung Regency Land Office, Iim Rohiman, stated on Saturday that the progress of juridical data collection and filing has approached 10,000 parcels, with completion targeted before the end of the year as the programme is funded through the Budget Implementation List (DIPA). “Currently, filing is still around 10,000 parcels. This year we have a PTSL target of 40,000 land parcels and all must be completed before the end of the fiscal year, because this programme is supported by the DIPA budget,” he said. Iim noted that the PTSL acceleration is being carried out amidst a high volume of regular land services, which reaches nearly 10,000 applications each month, making time management and personnel allocation a distinct challenge for the Bandung Regency Land Office staff. “Therefore, we are implementing strict time management, including extending working hours and continuing to go into the field on holidays to achieve the target,” he stated. Iim explained that the public is only charged an official fee of Rp150,000 in accordance with the 2017 Joint Ministerial Decree (SKB) of Three Ministers, which is used for operational needs at the village level such as the provision of land boundary markers, stamp duty, and administration. “Survey officers and committees from the BPN do not collect any fees from the public at all because all operations are covered by the DIPA budget,” he said. He added that the Bandung Regency BPN is also continuously socialising the official costs of the PTSL programme and posting information at every stage of service in an effort to prevent illegal levy practices. According to him, this year’s quota of 40,000 parcels is still unable to meet the entire demand because around 200,000 land parcels in Bandung Regency remain uncertified, so location determination is carried out based on regional databases and gradual proposals from village governments.
