The Authority And Limitations Of Ppat In Granting Building Rights Based On Legislation

Abstract

Building Use Rights (HGB) are one of the land rights that play an important role in development and spatial utilisation in Indonesia. In the process of transferring and granting HGB, Land Deed Officials (PPAT) have a strategic function as public officials who draw up authentic deeds as the basis for registering changes in land data. This study aims to analyse the authority and limitations of PPAT in granting HGB based on the provisions of laws and regulations, particularly regarding land status verification, document validity, and ethical and professional obligations in the performance of duties. The research method used is a descriptive method with a regulatory approach, examining the UUPA, PP No. 24 of 1997, PP No. 37 of 1998, and PP No. 18 of 2021. The results of the study show that PPATs have the authority to draw up deeds of legal acts on land, but this authority is limited by administrative law provisions, including the obligation to verify official documents, the prohibition on concluding the status of land without BPN data, and the obligation to refuse to draw up deeds on land whose status is unclear or in dispute. The application of the principles of duty of care and due diligence forms the ethical basis for PPATs to ensure legal certainty, prevent state losses, and maintain the integrity of the land registration process. Thus, the role of PPATs is not only administrative but also professional and moral in ensuring the legality of land transactions.
