YOGYAKARTA - Building Permits (IMB) are needed in every building construction. Every homeowner is required to have an IMB document. However, there are still many residential owners or prospective homeowners who do not know the benefits of the IMB and how to make it.

The IMB must be taken care of before you build or renovate the building. With the IMB, it means that the construction of your building already has an official permit. Because if there is no such document, the government has the right to displace or dismantle a building.

IMB has a legal basis that has been regulated by the government through law. That is why IMB is very important in building ownership. Apart from being an official permit document, IMB also has several other benefits.

The Building Permit (IMB) is a form of licensing for building ownership, to establish, renovate or change, and repair or add a building.

The IMB was issued by the local government stating that building owners can build buildings according to their predetermined functions, as well as based on the technical plan of the building that has been approved. In addition, the local government or regional head provided an IMB to create a building layout that is regular, comfortable, safe, and in accordance with the allocation of land.

The IMB has been regulated by the government in the following regulations:

There are a number of benefits from having an IMB. The following are the uses of an IMB for building owners:

The IMB is given for the purpose of creating a building layout that is in accordance with the allocation of land. By having an IMB, the owner of a building or house will receive maximum legal protection guarantees.

IMB documents also function important when you will apply for a credit card with collateral to the bank. One of the conditions for using a house as collateral is having an IMB.

IMB is also needed by business actors to take care of permits, such as business licenses, location permits, and so on.

Buildings that already have an IMB will have an automatic increase in selling value, when compared to buildings without such permits. In addition, the owner of the house is also allowed to build or renovate the house.

IMB is also needed when you want to make a sale and purchase transaction or rent a house. Home owners who do not have an IMB will be subject to a fine of 10 percent of the value of buildings and houses that can be torn down or evicted.

A house with the status of Building Use Rights (HGB) has a lower legal status than a house that has a Certificate of Ownership (SHM). To convert HGB into SHM, an IMB is required as the main requirement.

Here are a number of conditions that must be completed to be able to take care of the IMB, reported from the official website Jakarta.go.id:
