Rumors of Land Vacant for Two Years Seized by the State, Director General of PPTR Says Criteria for Determining Objects for Land Control with SHM Different from SHGU and SHGB.

JAKARTA, POSINTERNASIONAL.COM.

Recently, rumors have been circulating in the public that certified land will be taken over by the state if it remains vacant for two years.

Responding to this, the Director General of Land and Spatial Control and Control (Dirjen PPTR) of the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN).

Jonahar, emphasized that the criteria for determining objects for land control with SHM differ from those for land with Cultivation Rights (HGU) and Building Rights (HGB).

Currently, the department stated that the regulation is focused on HGU and HGB owned by legal entities. Thursday, July 17, 2025.

Jonahar explained that the regulation of freehold land can only be carried out if it falls into the abandoned category, as stipulated in Article 7 of Government Regulation (PP) Number 20 of 2021 concerning the Regulation of Abandoned Areas and Land.

This regulation states that freehold land can be regulated if it is controlled by another party, resulting in it becoming a village area.

If it has been controlled by another party for 20 consecutive years without any legal relationship with the owner; and/or if its social function is not being fulfilled.

Jonahar emphasized that the regulation aims to prevent disputes and regulate land ownership that does not comply with regulations.

Meanwhile, the regulations for the regulation of land with SHGU and SHGB are different from those for SHM land.

Based on Government Regulation Number 20 of 2021, HGU and HGB land can be subject to regulatory action if, within two years of the issuance of the rights.

They are not cultivated, used, and/or utilized according to the intended purpose stated in the initial rights application proposal.

Therefore, he urged landowners, whether currently occupied or located far away, to maintain their land and prevent public order from being disrupted.

“For HGU land, cultivate according to the initial proposal. For HGB land, build according to its intended purpose. For ownership rights, do not let others take over,” Jonahar concluded.

In closing, Jonahar reiterated that the primary objective of this policy is not to take over people’s land, but to ensure that all land in Indonesia is optimally utilized.

This aligns with the mandate of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, which stipulates that land and agrarian resources are controlled by the state and utilized for the greatest possible prosperity of the people.
