A Building Permit (PBG) is a permit issued by the local government (or the central government for special buildings) to building owners to construct new buildings, alter, expand, reduce, and/or maintain buildings in accordance with applicable technical standards. PBG is the latest regulation that officially replaces the IMB (Building Construction Permit) system following the enactment of Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation and Government Regulation (PP) No. 16 of 2021.
The Functions and Importance of the PBG
Obtaining a PBG is not merely a matter of fulfilling legal obligations or administrative formalities, but rather a crucial tool for:
1. EnsuringSafetyandComfort
Ensuring that building structures are safe from the risks of structural failure, fire, and natural disasters (such as earthquakes).
2.AssetLegality

3.Compliance with Spatial Planning
Ensuring that development is in accordance with the local Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW) or Detailed Spatial Plan (RDTR)
