In Indonesia, the building permit is called PBG (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung) and the certificate of permitted use is known as SLF (Sertifikat Laik Fungsi). These permits ensure that buildings are constructed legally and meet the required standards for the safety, comfort, health, and convenience of the occupants. It is mandatory for all buildings in Indonesia to have these permits before starting building construction.

The PBG and SLF permits have replaced the earlier building permit known as IMB (Ijin Mendirikan Bangunan) according to Government Regulations No. 16 of 2021 regarding Building Construction in Indonesia. The IMB was a single permit for building construction, whereas the PBG specifically focuses on the approval of building construction and the SLF ensures that the building is fit for use.

PBG (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung)

The PBG (Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung) permit refers to the building approval that is required for construction projects. A PBG is a permit issued by the government that gives permission to construct, renovate, maintain, or change a building and defines the type, design, and location of the building. The PBG must be submitted by the building owner before the construction of the building.

The building owner must report the function and classification of the building and adjust it to the regional spatial layout where the building will be built. If the building is not appropriate, the building owner may be subject to a penalty.

For buildings that have obtained IMB (Old Permits) from the Regional Government before this Government Regulation comes into force, the permit is still valid until the expiry of the permit.

The process of constructing a building until it is functional or used is not enough to only have the PBG. Other important documents that need to be completed, namely the SLF.

SLF (Sertifikat Laik Fungsi)

The Functional Eligibility Certificate is known as an SLF. The SLF is a certificate given by the government to a building that has been completed to declare the functional eligibility of the building before the building can be used. The SLF must be renewed every 20 years for residential buildings and every 5 years for other buildings. The building owner must re-apply for an SLF extension before expired. 

 

If changes are made to the building (such as extensions, modifications, or demolition and rebuilding). These must be notified to the government and its data will be amended in the information system.

PBG-SLF only can be issued if the technical plan and condition of the proposed building meet technical standards with the provisions of laws and regulations.

It must be accompanied by a consultation process involving certified experts (SKA) in each of these fields:

1. Architecture

2. Structure (Construction)

3. Mechanical Electrical Plumbing (MEP)

PBG-SLF Regional Retribution

PBG-SLF will be issued after the applicant pays the PBG-SLF Retribution,  Retribution is collected using the SKRD (Surat Keterangan Retribusi Daerah / Regional Retribution Determination Letter), and the applicant pays the levy according to the amount of the SKRD.

The Retribution Rate is determined by each District/City Regional Government based on the Integrated Index (Function and Classification of the Building).
