How Leasehold Land Works in Bali
A leasehold (Hak Sewa) gives you the right to use the land for a fixed term set by contract, commonly 25 to 30 years, with extensions agreed with the landowner. You do not own the land. In most cases you can build a villa on it, and the lease contract should say who owns the building when the term ends. Hak Milik, freehold title, is reserved for Indonesian citizens, and nominee arrangements are illegal and now carry criminal sanctions in Bali.
What to Check Before Leasing Land in Bali
- Zoning: pink (tourism) and yellow (residential) land can be built on, while green (agricultural) land cannot. Confirm the zone through the official KKPR check.
- Lease terms: the remaining years, a written and price-specified extension clause, and any ground rent.
- Building ownership: who owns the villa at the end of the lease, and what the lease allows you to build.
- Documents: have an independent notary (PPAT) verify the landowner's certificate, boundaries and any liens.
- Total cost: budget for acquisition costs of roughly 7 to 12 percent on top of the price, depending on the structure.
