Methods, Terms, and Costs for Processing Land Certificates
The legality of property ownership in the form of land or buildings must be legally proven. Therefore, after making a purchase, the most important thing to do is to make a land certificate. Clarifying the legal status and making the right land certificate can help us from various disputes in the future.
Before applying for a certificate, several documents are required as the completeness of the requirements.
The Following is The Meaning of Each Type of Land Right.
*) Hak Guna Bangunan (HGB) or Building Rights is an authority granted by the government or an acquired right to use the land that is not own within a period of 30 years. However, at the request of the owner of the land, the right to use the land can be extended for 20 years. In this condition, the HGB owner actually only has the right to the building, while the land belongs to the state. Companies usually do this because HGU can only be granted to Indonesian citizens, or legal entities established under Indonesian law and domiciled in Indonesia.
*) Hak Guna Usaha (HGU) or Cultivation Rights is the right to cultivate land controlled by the state. The right to control state land is usually a maximum of 25 years. Usually, the land is used for business purposes in the agricultural, plantation, fisheries, or animal husbandry sectors. The scale of ownership of this HGU starts from 5 hectares. However, if the HGU area exceeds 25 hectares, it usually requires a mechanism to obtain it. One of the conditions to get it is to go through an investment mechanism. Companies usually do this because HGU can only be granted to Indonesian citizens, or legal entities established under Indonesian law and domiciled in Indonesia.
*) Hak Pakai or Usage Right is the right to use and/or collect proceeds from land directly controlled by the State or land owned by others. This Right of Use is granted at the competent authority’s decision or by agreement with the landowner. This is usually done by the company provided that HGU can only be given to Indonesian citizens, legal entities established under Indonesian law and domiciled in Indonesia, foreigners domiciled in Indonesia, representatives of foreign countries, and international legal entities.
*) Sertifikat Hak Milik (SHM) or Property Right is the highest and strongest land title certificate. SHM is a certificate that indicates that the owner of the certificate has full rights as the owner of the land with a certain area stated in the letter with an unlimited time. Owners of SHM can bequeath the land they own to their children or grandchildren according to their agreement and wishes. This is only for Indonesian citizens.

1. | Copy of the applicant’s Identity which has been legalized by the authorized official; |

Furthermore, every home buying process always goes through the step of processing the Sale and Purchase Deed (AJB). AJB made by PPAT or Notary will later be used to manage the transfer of certificates from the previous owner to the new owner.
This deed, which is usually abbreviated as AJB, is legally valid proof that you have purchased land or buildings from the seller in full. The AJB function is also important for you when processing the transfer of title from the property’s previous owner.
