Basic Information

 

Foreign entities may only purchase Indonesian land under the name of a company registered in Indonesia; foreign individuals cannot obtain property rights to Indonesian real estate.


 

Indonesian land property rights are classified into permanent ownership (HMH), building rights (HGB), cultivation rights (HGU), use rights (HPL), and management rights (HPA), with over eight types of traditional land certificates. Traditional land certificates require prior application for property rights before use.
For foreign-funded enterprises, the highest property right obtainable is building rights (HGB), with a maximum tenure of 80 years: initially granted for 30 years, renewable twice (20 years for the first renewal and 30 years for the second).


 

Land transactions involve taxes such as Value Added Tax (VAT), acquisition tax, official fees, and notary fees.
Land site selection services cover regions including Greater Jakarta, Banten, West Java, Central Java, East Java, Batam, Sumatra, etc.
