How to Calculate PBG & SLF Fees in Bali (2025 Guide)

If you’re building or renovating a property in Bali, whether it’s a home, villa, or commercial space, you’ll need two essential legal documents:

• PBG (Building Approval / Persetujuan Bangunan Gedung)
• SLF (Certificate of Habitability / Sertifikat Laik Fungsi)

Here’s a practical guide on how to estimate the retribution fees based on the latest Bali regulations.

🧾 1. PBG (Building Approval) Fee Calculation

PBG fees are calculated using this formula:

PBG Fee = (Base Value × Building Area × Location Coefficient × Function Coefficient)

🔹 Components Breakdown:

• Base Value (Nilai Dasar) — set by the Bali local government:
  • Residential: Rp 15,000–50,000/m²
  • Commercial: Rp 50,000–150,000/m²
• Location Coefficient:
  • Urban (e.g., Seminyak, Denpasar): 1.0 – 1.5
  • Suburban (e.g., Ubud, Canggu): 0.8 – 1.2
  • Rural: 0.5 – 0.8
• Function Coefficient:
  • Residential housing: 1.0
  • Villas / Boutique hotels: 1.5 – 2.0
  • Restaurants / Shops: 2.0 – 3.0

📌 Example:

For a 200 m² villa in Seminyak:

• Base Value: Rp 100,000
• Location Coefficient: 1.5
• Function Coefficient: 1.5

Calculation:

Rp 100,000 × 200 × 1.5 × 1.5 = Rp 45,000,000 total PBG fee

🏠 2. SLF (Certificate of Habitability) Fee Estimation

SLF fees are based on building type and use.

Residential Buildings:

• Small houses (<100m²): Rp 500,000 – 1,000,000
• Luxury villas or resorts: Rp 2,000,000 – 10,000,000

Commercial Buildings:

• Shops, cafés, co-working spaces: Rp 1,500,000 – 5,000,000
• Hotels: Rp 5,000,000 – 20,000,000

💼 3. Additional Costs to Consider

• Technical Verification (for SLF): Rp 2,000,000 – 5,000,000
• Admin fees: Rp 500,000 – 1,500,000
• Consultant or notary service (optional): Based on agreement

📍 Where to Apply & Pay

• PBG: Submit to Dinas PUPR Bali (Public Works Office)
• SLF: Submit to Dinas Perizinan Bali (Licensing Office)

⚠️ Note: Rates may vary slightly between different regencies (e.g., Badung, Gianyar, Denpasar). For the most accurate and up-to-date figures, refer to Perda Bali No. 16/2021 or consult a local licensing agent or notary.
