Bandung Regency BPN Accelerates PTSL for 40,000 Land Parcels

Residents are charged only the official fee of Rp150,000 under the 2017 Tri-Ministerial Joint Decree (SKB), which is used for operational needs at the village level, such as boundary markers, duty stamps and administration.

Bandung (ANTARA) — The National Land Agency (BPN)/Bandung Regency Land Office in West Java is accelerating the implementation of the 2026 Complete Systematic Land Registration Programme (PTSL) to meet its target of certifying 40,000 land parcels.

Head of the Bandung Regency Land Office Iim Rohiman, speaking in Bandung on Saturday, said that progress on collecting juridical data and archiving has approached 10,000 parcels, with the target of completion before the end of the year because the programme is funded through the Budget Implementation Checklist (DIPA).

“Currently, archiving stands at around 10,000 parcels. This year we received a PTSL target of 40,000 land parcels, all of which must be completed before the end of the fiscal year because this programme is supported through the DIPA budget,” he said.

Iim said the acceleration of PTSL is being carried out amid high demand for regular land services, reaching nearly 10,000 applications each month, making the division of time and personnel a particular challenge for the Bandung Regency Land Office.

“That is why we apply strict time management, including extending working hours and continuing field visits on public holidays in order to achieve the target,” he said.

Iim explained that residents are charged only the official fee of Rp150,000 in accordance with the 2017 Tri-Ministerial Joint Decree (SKB), which is used for operational needs at the village level, such as the provision of land boundary markers, duty stamps and administration.

“Neither the survey officers nor the BPN committee charge any fees from residents, as all operational costs are covered through the DIPA budget,” he said.

He added that the BPN Bandung Regency Office continues to publicise the official costs of the PTSL programme and displays information at every stage of the service process as an effort to prevent illegal levy practices.

According to him, this year’s quota of 40,000 parcels is still unable to meet all demand, as around 200,000 land parcels in Bandung Regency remain uncertified, so locations are determined based on regional databases and proposals from village governments in stages.
